What Akeyless is
Akeyless is a secrets-management service for Linux and web environments. Listed capabilities include secret rotation, dynamic secrets, CI/CD injection, Kubernetes integration, and audit logs. It supports both deployment models and was founded in 2018. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 5 clients, 500 static secrets, 5 dynamic secrets, 5 rotated secrets, and 1 Gateway cluster. Audit-log retention on that plan is 3 days. Enterprise has custom limits and includes dynamic and rotated secrets, Kubernetes plugins, audit logging, and enterprise support, with pricing not listed. These plans define a clear difference between fixed free allowances and an enterprise offering built around custom limits. Teams can therefore assess client counts, secret quantities, gateway needs, and retention requirements against the Free plan. Akeyless may fit organizations needing centralized secret handling across web or Linux environments, including workflows involving CI/CD or Kubernetes.
