Guides

These guides take you from installing the Podplane CLI, to deploying your apps on a local cluster, and then deploying them on AWS.

Follow each guide in order, or jump directly to the task you need:

  1. Install Podplane and its command-line dependencies.
  2. Deploy an app locally in a single-node local cluster.
  3. Configure your app with templates, environment variables, secrets, logs, and routes.
  4. Manage application secrets securely with an external secrets provider.
  5. Create an AWS cluster and deploy the same application remotely.
  6. Set up team and CI access with OIDC authentication for people and automation.
  7. Role-based Access Control explains Podplane’s default groups and Kubernetes permissions.
  8. Pod Security explains Podplane’s secure Pod defaults and how to relax them.
  9. Operate and upgrade a cluster safely over time.
  10. Plan your infrastructure topology as you add production, staging, CI/CD, and observability environments.
