"Clusters" page and cluster detail

This section is for companies running their applications on a container platform. If that word means nothing to you, you have none: move on to the next lesson with an easy mind.

The list of platforms

Each connected platform shows its name, its version, its operating mode, the number of events in the last twenty-four hours, and the date of the last report. The Connect a platform button asks for a name, a distribution and an optional address, then provides a sending token shown only once. Note it down straight away; if it is lost, it is regenerated and the old one stops working.

The detail: four tabs

TabWhat you see there
RuntimeWhat the running applications actually do.
NetworkWho talks to whom, with source, destination and verdict.
ComplianceThe deployment rules that were not respected.
VulnerabilitiesKnown flaws in the components used.

The mode is the most important setting, and it is reversible. Four choices: observe only (nothing is blocked), simulation (actions are prepared but not applied), enforce (rules are applied), isolate (the suspect element is set aside). You always start with observation, and move on when comfortable.

A progression, not a leap

Moving from one mode to another is done in a drop-down list, and undone just as fast. At most customers the platform stays in observation for weeks, long enough to learn what is normal there, which is the right way to go about it.
