09. What Platform Engineers Must Have in Their IDP

Multi-cluster networking is a foundation requirement of a cloud native IDP because things like GitOps and observability require connectivity between clusters.

Cloud Native IDP Requires Architectural Components 

Internal Developer Platform (IDP) Architecture


An IDP (Internal Developer Platform) is required to build and manage infrastructure (both private and public clouds) using IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code), deploy applications, automate CI/CD pipelines, while providing observability for all those domains. 

 

There are two architectural components required for a cloud native IDP: a DevOps framework and secure multi-cluster networking.
