What is Kusion?

Kusion is an open-source platform orchestrator designed to streamline and codify the entire application lifecycle, from infrastructure provisioning to application deployment and management. Built by the KusionStack community, it addresses the challenges of modern deployment by enabling everything as code, eliminating manual steps and configuration drift. Kusion offers a unified workflow that manages both infrastructure and Kubernetes resources with Terraform-like simplicity. It supports separation of concerns, allowing platform teams, developers, and operators to collaborate smoothly through protocol-driven workflows. The platform is extensible, supporting modular integration with any cloud resources or runtimes beyond Kubernetes and Terraform. Kusion is ideal for organizations seeking to automate and visualize their deployment processes, manage ephemeral environments, and maintain security and compliance in a scalable, collaborative environment.
