Overview
notops is a command-line tool to build and maintain production-ready, cloud-native platforms on AWS with Kubernetes and GitOps. It also manages costs, patching, and upgrades for the environments it manages.
notops builds the base platform for you. Anything you need on top of it, like RDS instances or S3 buckets, or a Kubernetes operator, you can add using your favored approach, like Terraform or CloudFormation. notops doesn't replace your IaC tooling, it complements it. Resources managed by notops have standard AWS tags and Kubernetes labels, making it trivial to integrate them with your own IaC code. See Components for all the resources notops configures and manages.
Get Started Now and build a production-ready Kubernetes platform in less than an hour.
notops was born out of our years of experience in building production platforms for many companies. We realized as more companies move to the cloud, there is a need for “one-click” solution that doesn't require learning all of AWS, Kubernetes, and cloud-native tools. Most companies need a similar set of tools for their base platform. This common part is what notops solves, while making it easy to augment the base with any components that companies might need.
There is also a general scarcity of skilled professionals who can build reliable platforms. People who keep up with the vast, changing landscape of cloud-native tools and AWS. You may think you can hire consultants, but the good ones are rare (and expensive). The most likely outcome is: incomplete processes, runaway costs, internal team dissatisfaction and a steaming pile of overdue maintenance tasks. Consultants also don't solve for day 2 operations.
Key Goals
Reduce the cost and time of setting up the core infra needed to run your applications in the cloud. Instead of months and years, get started in a day.
Automate upgrades and patching, reducing or eliminating ongoing money and time investments.
Provide an opinionated set of components with best architectural practices, security and observability built-in, without needing a large ops team or AWS/Kubernetes knowledge.
