Decision brief
Layer5 supports cloud-native infrastructure management and design via tools for configuration management, orchestration, and visual design of Kubernetes-focused applications.
Good fit when
- When prioritizing Kubernetes-specific application orchestration and design
- For projects needing a strong visualization tool to aid in infrastructure design
Avoid when
- If the project does not involve cloud-native or Kubernetes applications
- In scenarios where an open-source visualization tool is not preferred
