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 still can use your helm charts to deploy your software manually.
- 💻 **OS Agnostic.** Zarf supports numerous operating systems. A full matrix of supported OSes, architectures and featuresets 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/docs/deploy-a-zarf-package/package-sboms) generation
- Build and [publish packages as OCI image artifacts](./5-zarf-tutorials/7-publish-and-deploy.md)
- Provide a [web dashboard](https://docs.zarf.dev/docs/deploy-a-zarf-package/view-sboms) for viewing SBOM output
- Create and verify package signatures with [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign)
- [Publish](https://docs.zarf.dev/docs/the-zarf-cli/cli-commands/zarf_package_publish), [pull](https://docs.zarf.dev/docs/the-zarf-cli/cli-commands/zarf_package_pull), and [deploy](https://docs.zarf.dev/docs/the-zarf-cli/cli-commands/zarf_package_deploy) packages from an [OCI registry](https://opencontainers.org/)
