Reference Topologies

Purpose: For platform engineers, provides deployment topology patterns including single-region multi-cluster, multi-region active-active, and edge-core configurations.

Single-Region Multi-Cluster​

Best for: Organizations with workloads in a single geographic region requiring environment isolation.

Resource Requirements:

  • 3 clusters minimum (dev, staging, prod)
  • Shared services cluster optional
  • Total: 9-12 control plane nodes, 6-30 worker nodes

Multi-Region Active-Active​

Best for: High availability requirements with geographic redundancy.

Resource Requirements:

  • 2+ regions
  • Identical cluster configurations per region
  • Cross-region networking (VPN or dedicated links)

Edge-Core​

Best for: Distributed workloads with central management.

Resource Requirements:

  • 1 core cluster (full platform services)
  • N edge clusters (minimal footprint)
  • Intermittent connectivity supported
