Zarf eliminates the [complexity of air gap software delivery](https://www.itopstimes.com/contain/air-gap-kubernetes-considerations-for-running-cloud-native-applications-without-the-cloud/) for Kubernetes clusters and cloud-native workloads using a declarative packaging strategy to support DevSecOps in offline and semi-connected environments.
## Why Use Zarf
- 💸 **Free and Open-Source.** Zarf will always be free to use and maintained by the open-source community.
- ⭐️ **Zero Dependencies.** As a statically compiled binary, the Zarf CLI has zero dependencies to run on any machine.
- 🔓 **No Vendor Lock.** There is no proprietary software that locks you into using Zarf. If you want to remove it, you can still use your Helm charts to deploy your software manually.
- 💻 **OS Agnostic.** Zarf supports numerous operating systems. A full matrix of supported OSes, architectures, and feature sets is coming soon.
- 📦 **Highly Distributable.** Integrate and deploy software from multiple secure development environments, including edge, embedded systems, secure cloud, data centers, and even local environments.
- 🚀 **Develop Connected, Deploy Disconnected.** Teams can build and configure individual applications or entire DevSecOps environments while connected to the internet. Once created, they can be packaged and shipped to a disconnected environment to be deployed.
- 💿 **Single File Deployments.** Zarf allows you to package the parts of the internet your app needs into a single compressed file to be installed without connectivity.
- ♻️ **Declarative Deployments.** Zarf packages define the precise state for your application, enabling it to be deployed the same way every time.
- 🦖 **Inherit Legacy Code.** Zarf packages can wrap legacy code and projects - allowing them to be deployed to modern DevSecOps environments.
## 📦 Out of the Box Features
- Automate Kubernetes deployments in disconnected environments
- Automate [Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)](https://docs.zarf.dev/ref/sboms/) generation
- Build and [publish packages as OCI image artifacts](https://docs.zarf.dev/tutorials/6-publish-and-deploy/)
- Provide a [web dashboard](https://docs.zarf.dev/ref/sboms/#the-sbom-viewer) for viewing SBOM output
- Create and verify package signatures with [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign)
- [Publish](https://docs.zarf.dev/commands/zarf_package_publish), [pull](https://docs.zarf.dev/commands/zarf_package_pull), and [deploy](https://docs.zarf.dev/commands/zarf_package_deploy) packages from an [OCI registry](https://opencontainers.org/)
- Powerful component lifecycle [actions](https://docs.zarf.dev/ref/actions)
- Deploy a new cluster while fully disconnected with [K3s](https://k3s.io/) or into any existing cluster using a [kube config](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/)
- Built-in Git server with [Gitea](https://gitea.io/en-us/)
- Built-in Docker registry
- Builtin [K9s Dashboard](https://k9scli.io/) for managing a cluster from the terminal
- [Mutating Webhook](adr/0005-mutating-webhook.md) to automatically update Kubernetes pod's image path and pull secrets as well as [Flux Git Repository](https://fluxcd.io/docs/components/source/gitrepositories/) URLs and secret references
- Builtin [command to find images](https://docs.zarf.dev/commands/zarf_dev_find-images) and resources from a Helm chart
- Tunneling capability to [connect to Kubernetes resources](https://docs.zarf.dev/commands/zarf_connect) without network routing, DNS, TLS or Ingress configuration required
## 🛠️ Configurable Features
- Customizable [variables and package templates](https://docs.zarf.dev/ref/values/) with defaults and user prompting
- [Composable packages](https://docs.zarf.dev/ref/components/#component-imports) to include multiple sub-packages/components
- Component-level OS/architecture filtering
