Canonical: https://ankra.ai/use-cases/bring-existing-infrastructure

Connect existing clusters and services, give agents useful context and adopt Ankra one practical step at a time.

Bring the systems you already run

# Start with what you already have.

Connect existing clusters and services, give agents useful context and adopt Ankra one practical step at a time.

[Start with Ankra](https://platform.ankra.app/auth/signup)  [Read the guide](https://docs.ankra.ai/guides/import-cluster)

For teams with existing applications, cloud accounts and private infrastructure

The work to take off your team

## Years of working infrastructure are a place to start.

Bring existing EKS, AKS, GKE or private Kubernetes into Ankra. Keep applications connected to existing databases, registries, storage and internal APIs while you choose which operating workflows to adopt. For Docker and Compose, start with a migration plan that accounts for configuration, supported data transfers and cutover.

With Ankra

### Ankra working with the systems your business already depends on.

Connect an existing cluster  Keep useful services connected  Choose the first improvement  Expand at your pace

A practical path

## How this works with Ankra.

1. 01

  ### Connect an existing cluster

  Import the Kubernetes cluster you already run and install the Ankra agent. Begin with workload visibility.
2. 02

  ### Keep useful services connected

  Reuse the endpoints and scoped credentials for existing databases, registries, storage and internal APIs.
3. 03

  ### Choose the first improvement

  Give an agent the context to investigate an issue, add security visibility or adopt a reviewed delivery workflow.
4. 04

  ### Expand at your pace

  Bring selected configuration into Git, reuse a working stack or plan a tested migration for the next workload.

The platform behind the workflow

## The pieces, already connected.

[### Clusters on your infrastructure Import existing Kubernetes or provision a cluster in your cloud account, on private servers or with a managed provider.](https://ankra.ai/features#clusters)

[### Ankra AI agents Work with role agents for delivery, reliability, databases, infrastructure and security, or create an agent for your team.](https://ankra.ai/features#agents)

[### Migration Bring Docker and Compose workloads into Kubernetes, or move a stack to another cluster with a deliberate data and cutover plan.](https://ankra.ai/features#migration)

What comes next?

## Keep building from here.

[Grow & move ### Migrate Docker & Compose Plan a move from Docker or Compose into Ankra-managed Kubernetes, including its configuration and database data.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/migrate-from-docker)

[Grow & move ### Run open source alternatives Replace suitable managed services from AWS, Azure or Google Cloud with open source services deployed through Ankra and operated with agent help.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/replace-managed-services)

[Operate & protect ### Self-service with control Give developers and agents useful access while retaining ownership of permissions, configuration and changes.](https://ankra.ai/use-cases/team-governance)
