Overview
Cloud Providers need to deliver a simplified, intuitive experience for their end users—most of whom are not familiar with the complexities and operational nuances of infrastructure. These users expect an App-Store-like user experience where they can browse, select, and deploy applications instantly without dealing with YAML files, Helm charts, or cluster-level configuration.
With the Rafay Platform, providers can build a comprehensive Marketplace that offers third-party commercial applications, open-source software, and custom workloads, all packaged as 1-click deployable experiences. By leveraging Rafay's Platform, service providers can encapsulate applications, standardize configurations, enforce governance, and provide secure, curated app catalogs to users across multiple tenants and environments.
Benefits¶
This approach enables Cloud Providers to deliver a streamlined, app-store-style experience—allowing each end user or tenant to deploy fully-configured applications with a single click, while the Rafay Platform handles orchestration, lifecycle management, policies, and automation behind the scenes.
Easy to Find¶
In the example below, the GPU Cloud or Enterprise has encapsulated the n8n application. When the end user logs into the self service portal, they are presented with this app as a card.
Easy to Configure¶
When the user selects the n8n card, they can be presented with options for configuration. In the example below, the service provider has allowed the end user to select CPU, Memory and storage for the n8n app.
Easy to Access/Use¶
Once the user clicks deploy, the app is deployed on the service provider's infrastructure and the user is presented with details on how to access the n8n app. In the example below, the service provider has chosen to present the user with a URL that they can click to access the n8n web app.
