Deploy in Kubernetes

Kubernetes is the preferred deployment environment for Anvil Enterprise. A Kubernetes deployment provides maximum flexibility for scaling, as well as continuous backup, observability and point-in-time restore out of the box. An Anvil cluster in Kubernetes can (but does not have to) include multiple server nodes to handle heavy load or to support high-availability with zero-downtime updates.

You don’t need to be a Kubernetes expert to deploy Anvil this way. See our K3s guide for a fully-supported deployment architecture suitable for easy installation on a physical or virtual machine by those with little or no prior knowledge of Kubernetes.

Kubernetes deployments of Anvil Enterprise are managed by the Anvil Operator.

In this section you will find guides for deployment on AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, Red Hat OpenShift and Oracle OKE, but the Anvil Operator will work in any compliant Kubernetes environment.

We can supply a sample Kubernetes Terraform template to get you started, or a Managed Enterprise service if you don’t want to manage the infrastructure yourself. Deploying to an entirely air-gapped environment is also supported.
