secure systems and intelligent software.

FIG. 01

A connected infrastructure

High-level infrastructure architectureUsers connect through edge security and an API gateway to services on a Kubernetes platform. Services connect to a database and cache. GitOps delivers configuration to the platform. Telemetry flows to observability and cost analysis. Animated paths illustrate these relationships. This is a conceptual architecture, not live infrastructure.ACCESSKUBERNETES PLATFORMDATA LAYERUsers & clientsWeb · applicationsEdge gatewayDNS · TLS · routingServicesWorkloadsIdentityAccess policyRuntimeAutoscalingDatabasePersistent application dataCache & queuesFast access · async workGitOps deliveryVersioned configurationObservabilityMetrics · logs · tracesCost insightsResource use · cost efficiencyHigh-level infrastructure architectureUsers connect through edge security and an API gateway to services on a Kubernetes platform.
