About:
The Keptn CLI is the command-line interface for Keptn, an open-source control plane for continuous delivery and automated operations. It enables developers and SREs to automate application deployments, performance validation, and remediation workflows across multiple stages. Its primary value is providing a declarative, event-driven orchestration layer that integrates with existing CI/CD and observability tools.

Key Features:

Declarative, event-driven orchestration for delivery and operations
Automated quality gate evaluation using SLOs/SLIs
Multi-stage deployment automation with canary and blue/green support
Integration with CI/CD pipelines and observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Dynatrace)
Built-in remediation workflows for automated problem resolution

Use Cases:

Automating multi-stage application deployments and promotions
Implementing automated performance validation and quality gates in CI/CD
Orchestrating automated remediation for production incidents based on alerts

Alternatives:

argocd – Focuses on GitOps for Kubernetes deployment; Keptn adds broader event-driven orchestration, quality gates, and automated operations.
spinnaker – A mature, powerful continuous delivery platform; Keptn is more lightweight and focused on declarative, event-driven orchestration and automated operations.
