Good Practices for Onboarding Applications

This Onboarding Applications design guide describes basic recommendations to prepare a Tetrate-managed platform for onboarding applications.

Steps for Onboarding Applications

1. Prepare the Clusters

   How can a Platform Owner prepare a cluster to receive applications.

2. Deploy Services and Configure Gateway Rules

   How can an App Owner deploy services and expose these for external traffic.

3. Monitor Tetrate Metrics

   How can the Platform Owner coordinate the availability of service metrics.

4. Extend Security Rules

   Working from a 'zero trust' security stance, opening up necessary security policies.

5. Manage Traffic between Clusters

   How can the Platform Owner prepare clusters for high-availability and cross-cluster scalability.

6. Achieve High Availability across Clusters

   How can the Application Owner operationalize the high availability of their applications.

7. Configure Additional Security Measures for a Service

   Rate Limits, Authentication and Access Control at the Ingress gateway.
