OpenChoreo

OpenChoreo is an internal developer platform for Kubernetes. It lets developers and AI agents build, deploy, and operate apps, resources, and agentic workloads from one place. It's aimed at platform teams that want self-service for developers without hiding the cluster underneath.

It ships with a Backstage-powered developer portal, a CLI, APIs, and MCP interfaces, so people and coding agents work against the same platform and the same guardrails.

• Golden paths: turn platform best practices into governed, reusable self-service workflows.
• Developer self-service: build from Git, configure, deploy, promote across environments, and inspect Kubernetes resources.
• Built-in agents: an SRE agent handles root cause analysis and remediation, and a FinOps agent works on cost optimization from budget alerts.
• Integrated observability: logs, metrics, traces, and alerts mapped to the application model, with natural language queries.
• GitOps: platform and application state live in Git for versioning and auditability.
• Access control: RBAC and tenancy boundaries keep self-service least-privilege across teams and projects.
• Toolchain integration: works with identity providers, CI systems, API and AI gateways, and infrastructure provisioners.

The architecture is modular, with separate control, data, build, and observability planes. You can adopt it step by step, and scale from one cluster to multi-cloud or hybrid setups.

It's self-hostable on any Kubernetes infrastructure, from cloud to on-premises to edge, so you keep control of your data and where it runs. That makes it a fit for teams weighing it against commercial options like Humanitec. A local quick start gets you hands-on in about ten minutes. OpenChoreo is a sandbox project under the Linux Foundation.
