A lot more room to choose.

Your cloud bill. Your security priorities. The systems you’ve spent years building. Bring them into the same conversation.

Cost

Make your cloud
spend work harder.

See estimated costs by cluster and workload. Find idle capacity, explore a different setup and compare providers before making a change.

Understand your spend
ComputeStorageNetwork
Find waste. Price the next move.
How Ankra helps
  • Track estimated spend across clusters, providers and workloads.
  • Investigate unused resources and review capacity recommendations.
  • Price a proposed configuration or another provider, with sources and assumptions visible.

Estimates help you plan; provider invoices and the cost of operating services complete the picture.

Explore cost control
Security

Know what needs
your attention.

Find the risks that affect your running applications. Give your team and agents the evidence to investigate, prioritise and review the next step.

Findings Your apps
Evidence. Permissions. Review.
How Ankra helps
  • Scan application code and images, and track vulnerabilities across scanned workloads.
  • Prioritise with known exploitation, affected applications and available fixes.
  • Scope access, protect secrets and choose what agents may do.

Scanner coverage and freshness stay visible, so you can see what has been checked.

Explore the Security Center
Existing systems

Start with what
you already run.

Connect existing Kubernetes, keep using the services your app depends on, or plan a move from Docker. Adopt Ankra one useful step at a time.

Your cloudYour serversYour services
Connected through Ankra
How Ankra helps
  • Import existing EKS, AKS, GKE and private Kubernetes clusters.
  • Connect existing databases, registries, storage and internal APIs.
  • Review Docker and Compose migration plans, including supported data transfers and cutover.

Begin with visibility and agent help, then choose which delivery and configuration workflows to adopt.

Bring your existing setup

More of your platform.
In your hands.

Replace suitable managed cloud services with open source alternatives on infrastructure you choose. Deploy through Ankra and put agents to work helping you operate them.

Build out the rest with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and Harbor.

What goes into the move?
  1. 01
    Check the fit.

    Review versions, extensions, client behaviour and the provider features your app uses.

  2. 02
    Prepare and test.

    Deploy a versioned stack. Configure access, storage, monitoring and a tested backup and restore plan.

  3. 03
    Move with a plan.

    Validate the data and performance, agree the cutover and rollback steps, then switch the application.

Your team chooses the availability, backup and support setup. Include those needs when comparing total cost.

Start with one application, one cluster or one service. Build from there.

AI helps.
You stay in charge.

Choose what your agents can do, review gated changes and keep your infrastructure under your control.
