Platform Applications

How platform applications work

When attaching a cluster, DKP deploys certain platform applications on the newly attached cluster. Operators can use the DKP UI to customize which platform applications to deploy to the attached clusters in a given workspace.

Currently, the monitoring stack is deployed by default. The logging stack is not.

Review the Workspace Platform Application Defaults and Resource Requirements to ensure that the attached clusters have sufficient resources.

When deploying and upgrading applications, platform applications come as a bundle; they are tested as a single unit, and you must deploy or upgrade them in a single process, for each workspace. This means all clusters in a workspace have the same set and versions of platform applications deployed.
