Staging Environment

 

Note: Single cluster deployment for staging/production environments is about to be deprecated and replaced by a multi-cluster deployment

Currently all the components are deployed to a single cluster using ArgoCD. Components are declared using ArgoCD Applications, and synced periodically by it to the Staging cluster.

Having access to the staging cluster and ArgoCD can help a component maintainer ensuring its component were properly deployed and debug it in cases they are not functioning properly, for example, by accessing the logs of of the component’s pods.

If you are not a component maintainer, you probably won’t need access to the staging cluster.

Accessing the Staging Cluster
