Container platform cluster
A container platform cluster is a Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift cluster that Turbonomic discovers through Kubeturbo. With this entity type, Turbonomic can fully link the entire cluster with the underlying nodes, and then present all actions in a single view. This gives you full visibility into the actions that impact the health of your cluster.

GitOps integration
Turbonomic integrates with Git-based software through
Argo
CD, a GitOps continuous delivery tool that manages ArgoCD
Application
resources using Custom Resources (CRs). With this integration, Turbonomic can identify the container platform cluster resources managed by
Argo CD, and then execute resize actions against the Git-based version control software
serving as Argo CD's 'source of truth'. Argo CD completes the action by synchronizing
changes onto the running environment.
For detailed integration instructions, see this topic.
Monitored resources
Turbonomic monitors resources for the containers, pods, nodes (VMs), and volumes in a cluster.
Actions
None
Turbonomic does not recommend actions for a container platform cluster. Instead, it recommends actions for the containers, pods, nodes (VMs), and volumes in the cluster. Turbonomic shows all of these actions when you scope to a container platform cluster and view the Pending Actions chart.

Cluster health
To assess the health of each cluster, see the Top Container Platform Clusters chart in the predefined Container Platform Dashboard.
For each cluster, the chart shows the sum of resources used by containers and the underlying nodes. Click the Actions button to see a list of pending actions.

The Top Namespaces chart shows the namespaces that use the most cluster resources. You can use the data in the chart for showback analysis.
