Plural empowers you to build and maintain cloud-native and production-ready infrastructure on Kubernetes.
Plural will deploy open-source applications and proprietary services on Kubernetes in your cloud using common standards like Helm and Terraform.
The Plural platform provides the following:
- Cluster API Providers to create and manage clusters at scale.
- Full visibility of your fleet and all deployed services via our secure Auth Proxy.
- Configuration management for deployments, allowing you to parameterize services for each deployment.
- Horizontal scaling to ingest and auto-shard as many repos as necessary.
- Dependency management between Terraform/Helm modules for open-source applications, with dependency-aware deployment and upgrades.
- Authenticated docker registry and chartmuseum proxy per repository.
In addition, Plural also handles:
- Issuing the certificates.
- Configuring a DNS service to register fully-qualified domains under onplural.sh to eliminate the hassle of DNS registration for users.
- Being an OIDC provider to enable zero touch login security for all Plural applications.
We think it's pretty cool! 😎 Some other nice things:
The Plural platform also ingests all deployment artifacts needed to deploy open-source cloud-native applications, allowing for easy installs and no-touch upgrades post-install.
Monitor all your installations from one central control plane. Our Auth Proxy makes it easy to make secure Kubernetes API calls to give you full dashboarding capabilities for all your clusters, regardless of where they live without direct network access.
Spin up ephemeral environments to test out new configurations in seconds; our CAPI providers make it easy to modify your architecture as you need it.
Manage Kubernetes upgrades easily with our built-in Kubernetes API deprecation management - we surface all endpoints on all clusters that need to be addressed.
Plural is fully self-hosted within your own environment, meaning we don't touch your credentials or sensitive information.
Cluster setup includes deploying our Plural deployment operator, which efficiently polls the control plane for any changes that need to be applied. This ensures that our control plane doesn’t reach into these workload clusters, providing a more secure setup than push-based models.
All Plural deployments are fully customizable with our centralized secrets management. Additionally, we natively support deploying to brand new clusters or adopting existing K8s clusters.

- Go to https://app.plural.sh to create an account.
Note: This is simply to track your open-source installations and deploy your Console; if you use our CLI you will not be asked to provide any infrastructure credentials or sensitive information. - Install the Plural CLI
- Create and initialize a new git repo to store your Plural installation.
- Install, build and deploy Plural Console and any other applications from the Plural marketplace.
You should now have a fully functioning Plural environment with any open-source apps and the management console running. From here, you can spin up additional clusters, deploy your services, track upgrades, and more. For more details or further information check out the rest of the docs below.
