What is Control Plane?
Control Plane is a global platform that abstracts away Kubernetes complexity while giving you its power. Think of it as "Kubernetes as a Service" but with multi-cloud capabilities built in.
Global Virtual Clouds (GVCs)
GVCs are the foundation of Control Plane. They let you deploy workloads across multiple cloud providers and regions with a single configuration. We use them to achieve geographic redundancy and optimal latency.
Workload Types
Control Plane offers several workload types: serverless (scales to zero), standard (always running), cron (scheduled jobs), and stateful (persistent storage). Choosing the right type can significantly impact costs.
Our Deployment Strategy
We deploy our Laravel applications as serverless workloads with custom autoscaling rules. Queue workers run as standard workloads to ensure consistent job processing.
Secrets Management
Control Plane's secrets management is robust and integrates well with workloads. We'll show you how to properly configure dictionary secrets and link them to your applications.
