The Platform Administrator (PA) is the Infrastructure Operator's (IO)
direct customer. The Administer section describes the features available to
the PA in Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped.
During the design phase of projects and user clusters, the PA must take into
consideration high-availability (HA) features that the IO implements on lower-level
infrastructure such as hardware. The PA can configure HA at multiple levels.
For example, during the creation of a cluster, the PA can activate an HA control
plane.
Handover from Infrastructure Operator
After the Infrastructure Operator (IO) finishes the initial bootstrapping of the
platform, they provide an access link for the newly created organization user
interface (UI) that lets the PA configure projects and user clusters. If the
IO integrates the organization with an identity provider, the PA can sign in
using their own identity. See
Connect to an identity provider
for details.
See the Develop section
for information about the PA's direct customer - the Application Operator (AO).
