Provisioning a Multitenant Platform
Every chapter in this book, up until this point, has focused on the infrastructure of your cluster. We have explored how to deploy Kubernetes, how to secure it, and how to monitor it. What we haven’t talked about is how to deploy applications.
In these, our final chapters, we’re going to work on building an application deployment platform using what we’ve learned about Kubernetes. We’re going to build our platform based on some common enterprise requirements. Where we can’t directly implement a requirement, because building a platform on Kubernetes could fill its own book, we’ll call it out and provide some insights.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Designing a pipeline
- Designing our platform architecture
- Using Infrastructure as Code for deployment
- Automating tenant onboarding
- Considerations for building an Internal Developer Platform
