Platform

The Platform section is the day-2 runbook for platform operators running Datalayer on Kubernetes.

It maps directly to the operation domains in this folder:

  1. Observability: OTEL-first telemetry operations, health checks, and troubleshooting.
  2. Runtimes: define what a runtime is made of — Runtime Contents, Runtime Environments and Runtime Pools.
  3. IAM: create the administrators and manage roles — Users.
  4. Availability: keep runtime access resilient and monitor platform status.
  5. Continuity: backup and disaster recovery procedures.
  6. Scaling: adjust node pools and runtime capacity for traffic and cost targets.
  7. Upgrades: staged rollout strategy for controlled version changes.
  8. Security: platform security posture and trust-center guidance.

For a new production environment, use this order:

  1. Start with the Runtime Contents, Environments and Pools to validate the CRDs and runtime control objects, and create the first administrator.
  2. Enable Observability and baseline service health.
  3. Tune Scaling for expected workloads.
  4. Review Availability behavior for runtime continuity.
  5. Implement Continuity backups and recovery drills.
  6. Execute Upgrades as staged rollouts.
  7. Apply Security controls and governance checks.

The availability of online Datalayer services can be monitored on the public Status page.
