Service Provider Control Planes¶

Control Planes are Kubernetes API endpoints, reachable directly from the Web Portal. It represents a datacenter ("Zone") of a Service Provider. A Service Provider can have multiple zones.

The portal connects to these Kubernetes API endpoints by using the official Python Kubernetes Client.

Every control plane is registered in the portal database with connection details, names and other metadata (description, location, service provider, zone, logo, etc.).

Not all users and organizations have access to all control planes, therefore we implement access control on a user and organization level to control planes. This way we filter the available service providers available.
