Deployments (Kubernetes)
A Kubeark Deployment is a representation of the desired state of an application as a collection of persistent objects in the Kubernetes ecosystem. These deployments can only be created by an active user or service account with the appropriate permissions to create the application in a cluster or multiple clusters using a specified template.
The Kubeark Application is cloud agnostic, and relies on a Kubernetes infrastructure, providing an enhanced version of a traditional Kubernetes deployment.
The Kubeark deployments allow users to deliver monolithic, containerized applications as multi-tenant by creating namespaced deployments defined in templates.
As an end-user of the Kubeark platform, when the Deployment is triggered, a user account can be created with limited standard permissions. This feature allows for a more efficient and secure way of delivering and managing applications within a Kubernetes environment.
