# Welcome to ForgeOps

The Ping Identity Platform provides ForgeOps to help you deploy PingAM, PingDS, PingIDM, and PingGateway collectively in an integrated manner on a cloud platform that runs Kubernetes.

ForgeOps comprises mainly two sets of resources:

* The [forgeops repository](https://github.com/ForgeRock/forgeops.git)

  The repository contains artifacts that let you get a sample Ping Identity Platform deployment up and running quickly. After you get the out-of-the-box deployment running, you can tailor it to explore how you might configure your Kubernetes cluster before you deploy the platform in production.

  ForgeOps deployments have the following characteristics:

  * Fully integrated AM, IDM, and DS installations

  * Multi-zone high availability'\[[1](#_footnotedef_1 "View footnote.")]'

  * Replicated directory services'\[[1](#_footnotedef_1 "View footnote.")]'

  * Ingress configuration'\[[2](#_footnotedef_2 "View footnote.")]'

  * Certificate management

  * Randomly generated secrets with ability to rotate secrets

  * Prometheus monitoring, Grafana reporting, and alert management'\[[1](#_footnotedef_1 "View footnote.")]'

* The [ForgeOps documentation](https://docs.pingidentity.com/forgeops/2026.1)

  The ForgeOps documentation helps you work with ForgeOps deployments:

  * Tells you how you can quickly [create a Kubernetes cluster](setup/overview.html) on Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure, [deploy the Ping Identity Platform](deploy/deploy.html), and [access components in the deployment](deploy/access.html).

  * Contains [how-tos for preparing for production deployments](prepare/overview.html) by customizing monitoring, setting alerts, backing up and restoring directory data, modifying the default security configuration, and running lightweight benchmarks to test DS, AM, and IDM performance.

  * Tells you how to [modify the AM and IDM configurations](customize/overview.html) in ForgeOps deployments and create customized Docker images for the Ping Identity Platform.

  * [Keeps you up-to-date with the latest changes to the `forgeops` repository](rn/rn.html).
