Deploy and Scale Your Cloud Native Applications
App Platform
Accelerate Kubernetes deployment times by up to 40% with the Akamai Application Platform.
Akamai App Platform
Build powerful, low-latency apps with enhanced security and operations. Powered by Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE), the Akamai App Platform includes recipes to configure and manage your Kubernetes clusters and resources.
Save Time
Move from code to production in under an hour, eliminating months of researching and curating tools.
Secure Environments and Apps
Run a fully-integrated suite of tools for observability, security, compliance, secrets management, CI/CD and service mesh, and cloud native storage.
Free Up Resources
Deploy cloud-native applications in production with an opinionated stack of essential capabilities.
Flexible, Cost Effective Kubernetes
Choose a compute instance type based on your needs. No surprise bills, thanks to simple, affordable pricing.
Akamai App Platform Plans
The App Platform is a free service that is an extension of Linode Kubernetes Engine. App Platform is added during the creation of an LKE Cluster. Clusters and related resources are billed based on consumption.
Simplified Kubernetes Management
CNCF Certified
We are certified as part of the CNCF Certified Kubernetes Conformance Program. This means your LKE workloads conform to portability standards, and you'll always have access to the latest updates and features.
