What is the Container Platform?

The Container Platform is a shared Kubernetes platform for deploying and running containerised applications. Clusters are organised by business unit and separated into production and non-production workloads.

The platform uses a GitOps deployment workflow. You declare your application, environment, and access requirements in Git, then open a pull request. When it is merged, ArgoCD deploys the workload to the target cluster and keeps the cluster aligned with the configuration in Git.
