Platform Setup
Configure the foundation — authentication, organizations, clusters, and the artifact registry.
Before you deploy workloads, set up the platform foundation: who can sign in, how your organization is structured, how clusters connect, and where reusable artifacts live. This section walks through identity, governance primitives, agent-based connectivity, and the registry that feeds your GitOps pipelines.
Authentication & Identity
Login, OAuth, MFA, sessions, invitations.
Organization & Governance
Roles, teams, grants, service accounts, break-glass.
Clusters & Agents
Registration, agent installation, inventory, commands, log streaming.
Registry & Catalog
Helm charts, Kustomize bases, manifest bundles, OCI distribution.
Setup order
For a smooth rollout, follow this sequence: Auth → Organization → Clusters → Registry. Identity and org structure should be in place before you onboard clusters and publish artifacts that deployments will reference.
