Cluster configuration

Cluster configuration is managed through the app platform configuration options.

A cluster has three main configuration sources:

Default, provider-independent app configuration. This comes from the cluster chart. If an app carries this configuration, you should probably move it directly to the app’s own repository.
Provider-specific app configuration. This comes from cluster-<provider>.
Customer-specified app configuration. This comes from the cluster-<provider> Helm values. It’s usually specified in the customer’s GitOps repository.
