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

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]'
Replicated directory services’^[1]'
Ingress configuration’^[2]'
Certificate management
Randomly generated secrets with ability to rotate secrets
Prometheus monitoring, Grafana reporting, and alert management’^[1]'

The ForgeOps documentation

The ForgeOps documentation helps you work with ForgeOps deployments:

Tells you how you can quickly create a Kubernetes cluster on Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure, deploy the Ping Identity Platform, and access components in the deployment.
Contains how-tos for preparing for production deployments 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 in ForgeOps deployments and create customized Docker images for the Ping Identity Platform.
