Kubernetes Platform Reference Architecture Documentation

Reference documentation describing ScaleCloud’s standard multi-tenant Kubernetes platform architecture, including cluster topology, namespace conventions, and the standard observability stack deployed on every cluster.

Cluster topology

The standard pattern separates platform-services clusters (running shared tooling like the observability stack and ingress controllers) from workload clusters, so a platform-tooling upgrade never risks tenant workload availability.

Standard observability stack

Every cluster ships with Prometheus for metrics, Loki for logs, and Grafana as the shared visualization layer, pre-wired with dashboards for node health, pod resource pressure, and ingress error rates.
