Understand how your users use CNAP with built-in Audit Logs and in-depth Usage Analytics.
The enterprise-ready platform where developers ship apps, providers build clouds, and users deploy with ease.
CNAP is designed to help you deliver your software to people. It's a platform that allows your users to install via self-service your existing bundles that can contain all the tools you are familiar with like Kustomize, Helm, Terraform, Pulumi, or really anything. Deliver installations of your product or whole stacks on-prem Kubernetes clusters, customer's infrastructure, public clouds, fly.io, Vercel, Cloudflare, or really anywhere.
Reduce costs, grow revenue, go to market faster, and run your business more efficiently with your own fully integratable cloud-native application platform. Use CNAP to handle all the interactions between developers of cloud-native apps, providers who provide the necessary infrastructure, and users who want to install and use these apps.
The open source standard for packaging and installing distributed applications is called CNAB to facilitate the bundling, installing and managing of container-native apps — and their coupled services. CNAP is a platform that simplifies using CNABs lifting up lower level resource managers such as Helm, Kustomize, or resources for any other runtime. CNAP is designed for everyone, from developer teams to users, and involves providers in the process.
A CNAB can be composed to utilize whatever infra or services you require - there’s no vendor lock in. CNABs can be used to easily deliver apps across teams, organizations and marketplaces - even shared offline. A CNAB can be cryptographically signed, attested, and verified to ensure a trustworthy source.
You can use CNAP not only to deliver your own apps but also to quickly adopt existing package ecosystems and tools, support new app markets, go direct-to-consumer, and upgrade customers engagement onto your hosting platform.

A Cloud Native Application Bundle (CNAB) is a specification designed to facilitate the packaging, distribution, and lifecycle management of cloud-native applications and their dependencies. It aims to simplify the deployment and management of applications across different cloud environments by bundling all necessary components and configurations into a single, portable unit.
Porter is an open-source tool that serves as a CNAB container runtime, responsible for executing and managing the lifecycle operations of CNAB packages. It simplifies the deployment and management of CNAB bundles by providing a command-line interface (CLI) and supporting custom plugins for extended functionality. Porter's key features include:
Porter is designed to be user-friendly, allowing developers to create and manage CNAB bundles without needing to understand the underlying CNAB specification. It integrates with existing tools like Helm, Kustomize, Terraform, and public clouds, making it easier to compose and manage complex application deployments.
The Cloud Native Application Platform (CNAP) is a platform that simplifies using CNAB in production by integrating and organizing various tools aiming to reduce duplicate similar work and following the philosophy to connect developers, providers, and users. It supports external artifact registries like Artifact Hub, Docker Hub (any OCI registry), Terraform Registry, etc., and allows users to customize application settings in friendly UIs. The platform handles the installation and deployment of applications on providers' hardware, and allows developers to focus on coding their core product. CNAP also empowers providers who want to create their own private cloud on their hardware infrastructure and monetize it by running applications.
