Enkindlr for Azure

Ship every workload through one governed path.

Give teams self-serve delivery and day-two operations on Azure Kubernetes Service while IT retains control of identity, workspace boundaries, secrets and audit.

Microsoft Azure AKS Microsoft Entra ID Azure DevOps GitHub Azure Key Vault
One platform, three outcomes

Move faster without creating a second path around IT.

Delivery, governance and operations stay connected instead of becoming separate tools, tickets and permission models.

01Ship

Move from source or image to a running service.

Teams deploy applications, Helm platforms and scheduled jobs from approved registries and repositories through one repeatable delivery path.

  • Azure DevOps and GitHub pipelines
  • Applications, Helm platforms and scheduled jobs
  • Image promotion, continuous delivery and rollback
02Govern

Apply the same boundaries to every team.

Identity, workspace roles, ownership and namespace rules determine what each team can see and change. Application secrets stay in Azure Key Vault.

  • Microsoft Entra ID and workspace RBAC
  • Workspace-scoped resources and integrations
  • Key Vault references and structured audit records
03Operate

Give teams day-two control without cluster-admin access.

Developers and operators inspect health, review logs and events, scale services, restart deployments and respond to alerts from one interface.

  • Deployment and Kubernetes health
  • Logs, metrics, events and alerts
  • Scaling, restarts and deployment history

Inside the platform

Follow a workload from
workspace to audit trail.

Explore real Enkindlr screens. Select a capability to see how teams deliver and operate workloads inside the boundaries IT defines.

01

Workspaces

Give every team a governed operating boundary. Membership, roles, workloads, integrations, pipelines and alerts remain scoped to the active workspace.

Select the image to inspect it full screen.
Agent-native by design

Automation uses the same controls as everyone else.

Developers, scripts and coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex can use the CLI or REST API. They authenticate, select a workspace and operate only within the permissions assigned to that identity.

01

Authenticate and select scope

Use a dashboard-issued token or the optional browser flow, then select the target cluster and workspace.

02

Execute through the governed interface

The CLI and documented API expose deployments, pipelines, platforms, jobs, integrations and operations.

03

Verify in Enkindlr

The workload appears in the product interface and state-changing operations enter the same audit trail.

Python CLI REST API Permission checks Workspace scope

Web, CLI and API—one authorization model, one workspace boundary, one operational record.

Customer-controlled deployment

The platform runs where your workloads run: in your Azure subscription.

Enkindlr is deployed to customer-controlled AKS. Its control-plane data, identities, registries, secrets and application data remain within the customer’s Azure environment.

  • Your infrastructure AKS, ACR, Key Vault, PostgreSQL and DNS remain customer-controlled.
  • Your identity Users sign in through Microsoft Entra ID, without a separate Enkindlr password system.
  • Your policies Customer RBAC, networking, monitoring, backup and security processes continue to apply.

Evaluate Enkindlr

Start with one representative internal application.

A focused evaluation proves the complete path using your approved source repository, registry, identity and secret-management processes.

Recommended sequence
  1. 01Review the target Azure architecture and security requirements.
  2. 02Confirm AKS, identity, registry, Key Vault, database, DNS and ingress prerequisites.
  3. 03Deploy the Enkindlr control plane and configure Microsoft Entra ID.
  4. 04Create the first workspace and connect the approved delivery services.
  5. 05Deploy one representative workload and validate operations, rollback and audit.
Core Azure prerequisites
  • AKS with OIDC issuer and Workload Identity
  • Microsoft Entra ID integration and Azure RBAC
  • Azure Container Registry and Azure Key Vault
  • Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server
  • Managed identity with the required scoped roles
  • Ingress, TLS and DNS configuration

Deployment timing depends primarily on the readiness of your AKS, identity, DNS and security approvals. We confirm the implementation sequence after the prerequisite review.

Frequently asked

What teams want to know before a walkthrough.

What is Enkindlr?

Enkindlr is a self-hosted operations control plane for deploying and operating applications, Helm platforms and scheduled jobs on Azure Kubernetes Service. It also provides a registry and gateway for controlled access to registered AI models.

Where does Enkindlr run?

The control plane runs inside your Azure subscription. The AKS cluster, container registry, Key Vault, database, identities and application data remain customer-controlled.

Does it replace Azure DevOps or GitHub?

No. Source code remains in your existing repositories. Enkindlr connects those repositories to governed build, image-promotion, deployment and operational workflows.

How are teams isolated?

Resources are scoped to workspaces. Backend-enforced membership and workspace roles control access, while Kubernetes namespaces and optional network policies provide workload-level separation.

How are application secrets handled?

Application secrets are stored in Azure Key Vault and mounted into workloads through the Secrets Store CSI Driver. Enkindlr retains references rather than plaintext application secret values.

Can Claude Code or Codex use Enkindlr?

Yes. Coding agents can invoke the Python CLI or REST API, subject to the same authentication, permissions and workspace scope as a human user.

What observability is included?

Enkindlr exposes workload status, Kubernetes events, logs, cluster health and Azure Monitor managed Prometheus metrics. Alerting supports Kubernetes and custom Prometheus conditions.

Is MCP available?

A native Enkindlr MCP service and in-product agent execution are planned, not generally available today. The CLI and REST API are the supported automation interfaces.
