Enterprise: Cloud Native Platform
At the enterprise level, the focus shifts from "running an app" to "running a platform." This architecture provides a standardized "Paved Road" for hundreds of developers.
Core Components:
- Kubernetes (K8s) Cluster: The universal substrate for compute.
- GitOps (ArgoCD): Deployment state is managed strictly via Git repositories, ensuring auditability and rollback.
- Service Mesh (Istio/Linkerd): Automatically handles mTLS encryption, traffic splitting, and deep telemetry without code changes.
- Policy Engine (OPA): Enforces corporate compliance (e.g., "No public info in logs", "Required labels") at the admission level.
- Observability Stack: Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK/Loki stack for full-system visibility.
Compliance & Security: All traffic is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is controlled via OIDC/SSO integration.
