Appian Kubernetes Utilities

Overview

Appian on Kubernetes Utilities is a Python CLI toolkit that accelerates the deployment and management of Appian on Kubernetes (AoK) environments. It replaces manual YAML assembly and documentation with automated generation from a single configuration file, giving Appian administrators a low-barrier-to-entry path to production deployments.

Key Features & Functionality

  • Config Generator - simplify the preparation and deployment of the Appian Operator and other pre-requisites needed to deploy the Appian platform itself.
  • Config Visualization - convert your Appian on Kubernetes site YAML file into a Kubernetes diagram to visualize your configuration.
  • Migration Manifest Parser - enables customers migrating from machine-based Appian environments to Kubernetes using the Migration Tool to take advantage of the best-practice configurations provided by the Appian Platform (CS) Helm Chart.

  • v3.0.0 Release Notes

    This is a complete rewrite of the utilities as a single, installable Python package. The previous standalone scripts have been replaced by a unified CLI.
    What's new:
    • Unified CLI: Single aok command with subcommands (generate, visualize, migration-convert, docs). Install the wheel, get all utilities.
    • Offline documentation: Bundled MkDocs site with full search. Distributed as a companion zip for air-gapped environments.
    • Dependency detection: The visualizer now checks for Graphviz before rendering and provides platform-specific install instructions (macOS/Windows/Linux) instead of failing silently.
    • Config Generator: Database script output for all supported databases (MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2)
    • Config Generator: Draft appian-platform-cs Helm values file generation
    • Config Visualizer: RWO storage totals per component and site-wide in the resource summary
