Make GitOps, DNS, Inventory, and Compute Behave Like One System.

Infrastructure automation often appears orderly on diagrams but is complex in reality, involving multiple tools and teams managing hardware, virtual environments, and networks. Kestra 1.3 addresses this complexity by providing a control plane that orchestrates processes rather than replacing existing tools, turning infrastructure operations into workflows with features like retries, timeouts, and audits. New plugins support integration with common infrastructure management tools, such as Argo CD for GitOps delivery, Cloudflare for edge operations, MAAS for bare metal management, and NetBox for maintaining source-of-truth workflows. Kestra enhances reliability and observability by integrating infrastructure automation, making handoffs between tools explicit and reliable. It supports virtualization and recovery workflows, with plugins for KVM/libvirt and Nutanix AHV that cover VM lifecycle management and snapshotting. Kestra’s Blueprints offer pre-made workflow patterns for common orchestration challenges, including GitOps and configuration drift detection. Additionally, Kestra provides an alternative to VMware’s Aria/vRA orchestration layer, allowing teams to modernize their infrastructure management without a complete overhaul of existing VMware ecosystems.
