  1. Overview

What is Scoutflo?

Scoutflo: Build and deploy production-ready applications on Kubernetes in minutes, with no management overhead.

What is Scoutflo?

Scoutflo is a comprehensive platform designed to simplify the complexities of deploying and managing applications on Kubernetes. Built with developers and DevOps teams in mind, Scoutflo helps you focus on development while it handles the heavy lifting of infrastructure management, application deployment, and cost optimization across cloud providers. Whether you're deploying new applications, managing cloud infrastructure, or monitoring costs, Scoutflo provides the tools and automation needed for smooth operations in a multi-cloud world.

Key Features and Capabilities of Scoutflo

  1. End-to-End Kubernetes Management Scoutflo manages the entire lifecycle of your Kubernetes infrastructure, from cluster provisioning to ongoing application management. It supports multiple cloud environments, including AWS, and soon will integrate with Azure and Google Cloud Platform. You can either connect your existing Kubernetes clusters or spin up new ones using Scoutflo’s easy-to-navigate platform.

  2. Focus on Development, We Handle the Infrastructure Developers can focus on building great applications while Scoutflo automates infrastructure management. With a one-click deployment mechanism, Scoutflo eliminates the need for manual configurations and deep technical expertise in Kubernetes, allowing teams to go from code to deployment seamlessly.

  3. One-Click Deployments Scoutflo enables rapid deployments with minimal configuration through its intuitive interface. From databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL to monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana, you can deploy and manage open-source tools effortlessly. Whether you’re deploying a new microservice or an entire stack, Scoutflo ensures your applications are up and running in minutes.

  4. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Scoutflo embraces the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach, enabling you to manage your entire infrastructure through reusable, version-controlled code. Scoutflo supports GitOps workflows, which means that all configurations and deployments are stored in your Git repository, allowing for traceability, version control, and seamless automation of infrastructure changes.

  5. GitOps Workflows and Continuous Deployment Scoutflo integrates directly with GitHub, providing seamless GitOps capabilities. When code changes are pushed to your Git repository, Scoutflo automates deployment across development, staging, and production environments, ensuring continuous delivery and quick iteration cycles. Your infrastructure and application configurations are stored in Git, serving as a single source of truth.

  6. Unified Control Plane Scoutflo offers a centralized, single-pane-of-glass view of your entire infrastructure and applications across different environments and cloud providers. This unified control plane allows you to manage clusters, monitor costs, deploy applications, and access real-time insights from a single dashboard, eliminating the need to toggle between different tools or platforms.

  7. Built-in Open-Source Marketplace With Scoutflo’s built-in marketplace, you can easily deploy popular third-party open-source applications such as databases, monitoring systems, CI/CD pipelines, and content management systems. All of this can be done with a few clicks, streamlining the deployment process while still giving you full control over configuration options.

  8. Cost Optimization and Transparency Scoutflo ensures that your cloud spending is optimized through real-time cost monitoring and detailed reports. Using built-in tools like Kubecost, you can track resource usage and costs, optimize your Kubernetes deployments, and make informed financial decisions. Pre-deployment cost estimations allow you to plan effectively, while post-deployment tracking helps in maintaining budget efficiency.

Scoutflo’s Key Benefits:

  • Multi-Cloud and Multi-Cluster Support: Deploy across different cloud providers and manage multiple Kubernetes clusters from one platform.

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Automation: Provision and manage your infrastructure with code, leveraging tools like Terraform and Helm for consistency and automation.

  • Cost Control and Monitoring: Integrated cost estimation and monitoring tools help optimize your cloud spend, giving you full transparency into your resource usage.

  • Seamless Integration: Scoutflo integrates effortlessly with your existing Git repositories, container registries, and cloud accounts, ensuring a smooth onboarding process.

How Scoutflo Works:

  1. Connect Your Git Repository By connecting your Git repository, Scoutflo allows you to manage your infrastructure and applications using GitOps practices. This ensures that all configurations are version-controlled, auditable, and automatically deployed based on changes in the repository.

  2. Set Up Your Kubernetes Infrastructure Scoutflo enables you to either connect an existing Kubernetes cluster or create a new one in your preferred cloud environment. It automates cluster setup, networking configurations, and add-on installations, like monitoring tools and ingress controllers.

  3. Deploy Applications from the Marketplace Through the built-in marketplace, you can deploy pre-configured open-source applications with just one click. Scoutflo supports a wide range of software tools, including databases, monitoring systems, and content management platforms.

  4. Monitor and Manage Deployments Once applications are deployed, Scoutflo provides built-in monitoring tools, such as Prometheus and Grafana, for tracking application performance and cluster health. With the Dora Dashboard and Kubernetes Dashboard, you can gain deep insights into deployment frequency, lead times, and error rates to optimize your DevOps workflows.

  5. Optimize Costs with Built-in Monitoring Scoutflo comes with advanced cost-tracking tools, giving you real-time visibility into your cloud expenses. Using integrations like Kubecost, Scoutflo ensures you can optimize resource usage without compromising on performance.

Why Choose Scoutflo?

Scoutflo streamlines every aspect of application deployment and management. From infrastructure provisioning to multi-cluster management, and GitOps workflows to cost optimization, Scoutflo is designed to help teams of all sizes deliver applications faster, more reliably, and with complete visibility. Whether you are a small startup looking to simplify your Kubernetes operations or a large enterprise managing multiple environments, Scoutflo scales to meet your needs.

In the Pipeline: Scoutflo is constantly evolving. Upcoming features include deeper integration with Azure and Google Cloud, built-in CI/CD pipelines for complete automation of the application lifecycle, and expanded capabilities for managing microservices and open-source tools.


With Scoutflo, you can focus on building great applications, and we’ll handle everything else—from infrastructure provisioning to scaling, monitoring, and cost optimization.
