InfragateWhat an OKE self-service platform should solve
Oracle Kubernetes Engine is powerful, but many teams still deliver clusters through tickets, Terraform pull requests, shared scripts, or direct OCI Console access. That slows delivery and spreads responsibility across engineers who may not know IAM, VCN design, OKE version compatibility, node pool sizing, or cost impact.
A self-service platform gives engineers a clean request and operation layer while keeping platform teams in control of the approved paths. The goal is not to hide OCI. The goal is to make the common OKE workflow repeatable, governed, and fast.
The governance layer matters more than the button
A deploy button is useful only when it carries the right controls behind it. For OKE, that usually means templates, resource limits, role-based access, version filtering, network patterns, cost visibility, approval workflows, and audit history.
Infragate puts those controls in the product: admins define what users can deploy, which templates they can see, which Kubernetes versions are enabled, which limits apply, and when requests need review.
What engineers get
- Provision OKE clusters from a web portal instead of writing Terraform.
- Scale node pools, adjust resources, and upgrade Kubernetes through controlled workflows.
- Download kubeconfig when authorized, without local OCI CLI setup.
- See estimated monthly and hourly cost before creating or scaling resources.
- Track lifecycle events through durable Activity history.
What platform teams keep
- Admin-approved cluster templates and role-based template visibility.
- Per-user and global limits for clusters, node pools, OCPU, RAM, storage, and tiers.
- Protected destroy requests and limit-increase approvals.
- OCI compatibility checks for shapes, images, and Kubernetes versions.
- Terraform execution, state, and logs inside the customer environment.
Why Infragate is OCI-native
Infragate is built specifically for Oracle Cloud and Oracle Kubernetes Engine rather than as a generic multi-cloud abstraction. It works with OCI compartments, VCNs, subnets, OKE versions, node images, Object Storage state, and OIDC identity providers.
That focus matters for teams that want an internal developer platform for OCI without building every OKE-specific rule, guardrail, and day-2 workflow themselves.
