Core Concepts
Tenant
Section titled “Tenant”Your tenant is your team’s workspace. It contains your clusters, databases,
registry, secrets, and members. Members have an admin or readonly role.
Cluster
Section titled “Cluster”A cluster is the Kubernetes environment where you run applications. Use separate clusters for development, staging, and production when you need separate environments. Connect with kubectl or Helm, or use the console.
Namespace
Section titled “Namespace”Namespaces group workloads inside a cluster. Create namespaces for your applications;
leave kube-system for Kupe-managed components.
Application
Section titled “Application”Deploy standard Kubernetes resources, including Deployments, Services, and Jobs. Use Argo CD to deploy from Git and track changes. Publish web applications with an HTTPRoute.
Application services
Section titled “Application services”- Secrets deliver sensitive values to chosen namespaces.
- Database bindings give namespaces access to PostgreSQL.
- Registry connections let clusters pull your private images.
- Grafana shows your applications’ dashboards, logs, and metrics.
Cluster status
Section titled “Cluster status”Wait for Running before deploying. Provisioning and Upgrading mean a change
is in progress; Degraded needs attention; Terminating means deletion is underway.
Check the status message in the console, or contact support.
