Kf can benefit from the rich ecosystem of GKE Enterprise
and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), including automation, managed backing services,
and development tools.
GKE reference architecture
Kf clusters are managed just like any other
GKE cluster, and access resources in the same way.
Config Sync
Kf can work with
Config Management or
standalone
Config Sync to
automate Space creation across any number of clusters. Create
new namespaces on non-Kf clusters, and Spaces on
Kf clusters. You can also manage Spaces by
removing the Kf CLI from Space management, if desired. Use kubectl explain to get Kf CRD specs to fully manage your product configuration via GitOps.
