Alauda Container Platform

Overview

After you validate Core installation, prepare the platform areas that application teams and operations teams depend on. The exact sequence depends on whether you will create new workload clusters, onboard third-party clusters, install Extensions, or prepare an existing environment for application workloads.

Conditional work

  • Install the Product Docs plugin immediately after Core validation if users need in-console help links.
  • Install Extensions only when the target capability is needed and the package is compatible with the current platform version.
  • Configure Global Cluster Disaster Recovery only when the deployment scenario requires a Primary and Standby global cluster design.
  • Create or onboard workload clusters only when application placement, isolation, or lifecycle requirements need separate workload clusters.
