Overview

Hosted Control Plane (HCP) is a control-plane topology. Each hosted cluster has its own control plane, and multiple hosted control planes run as workloads on a management cluster. In , HCP is implemented through Kamaji (TenantControlPlane).

In 4.3, HCP is Technology Preview, is not production-supported, supports disconnected environments, and defaults to Installer-Provisioned Infrastructure (IPI) only. Use HCP for non-production evaluation only. For installation and operation tasks within that scope, follow the HCP guidance below.

Note
Because Hosted Control Plane releases on a different cadence from Alauda Container Platform, the Hosted Control Plane documentation is now available as a separate documentation set at Hosted Control Plane.
