Operational guides for deploying, monitoring, and maintaining the Edge Developer Platform components.

|
## Operations Overview
|
|
|
|
This section outlines some of the operational aspects of the Edge Developer
|
|
Platform (EDP). The approach emphasizes a "developer operations" mode, primarily
|
|
focusing on monitoring and issue resolution rather than traditional operations.
|
|
|
|
## Deployments
|
|
|
|
### EDP Clusters
|
|
|
|
For details on deploying instances of EDP on OTC, see
|
|
[this](/docs/edp/deployment/otc/) section.
|
|
|
|
#### Further Infrastructural References
|
|
|
|
- OTC Documentation:
|
|
- [IPCEI-CIS Confluence - OTC](https://confluence.telekom-mms.com/spaces/IPCEICIS/pages/1000105031/OTC)
|
|
|
|
### Edge Connect
|
|
|
|
The `edge` and `orca` clouds within Edge Connect serve as deployment targets for
|
|
EDP applications. These environments are [Gardener](https://gardener.cloud/)
|
|
Kubernetes clusters.
|
|
|
|
For general use, interaction with Edge Connect is intended via its web UI:
|
|
<https://hub.apps.edge.platform.mg3.mdb.osc.live>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Further Infrastructural References
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cluster-level access is available for addressing operational issues. Details on
|
|
obtaining access are provided in the following resources:
|
|
|
|
- [IPCEI-CIS Confluence - Edge Cloud](https://confluence.telekom-mms.com/spaces/IPCEICIS/pages/1122869593/Edge+Cloud)
|
|
- [IPCEI-CIS Jira - Edge Cloud Access](https://jira.telekom-mms.com/browse/IPCEICIS-6222?focusedId=3411527&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-3411527)
|
|
- **Hint:** To authenticate and obtain the cluster `kubectl` context, retrieve
|
|
the `kubeconfig` for the `platform` from your Gardener Account Settings. Then,
|
|
execute:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gardenctl target --garden mg3 --project platform --shoot edge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Monitoring & Observability
|
|
|
|
The `observability.buildth.ing` [cluster](https://observability.buildth.ing/) within the Prod OTC [tenant](https://edp.buildth.ing/DevFW/infra-deploy/src/branch/main/prod/observability) is designated
|
|
for monitoring platform stacks, with visualization primarily through
|
|
[Grafana](https://grafana.observability.buildth.ing). Currently, a formal
|
|
operational monitoring lifecycle with defined metrics and alerts is not fully
|
|
established, reflecting the current developer-centric operational mode.
|
|
|
|
Login credentials can be found in the `grafana-admin-credentials` secret within the cluster.
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: The deployed stacks are depending on the `is_observability` flag setting (to include extra components for observability) in the `deploy` workflow within the `infra-deploy` repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Maintenance
|
|
|
|
EDP maintenance follows an issue-driven strategy.
|
|
|
|
### Updates & Upgrades
|
|
|
|
Updates are performed on-demand for individual components in
|
|
[stacks](/docs/edp/deployment/infrastructure/stacks/).
|
|
|
|
### Backup & Recovery
|
|
|
|
Customer data within EDP is regularly backed up. Refer to
|
|
[IPCEICIS-5017](https://jira.telekom-mms.com/browse/IPCEICIS-5017) for details.
