Cluster environments provide a consolidated view of which CI environments are deployed to the Kubernetes cluster and it:

  • Shows the project and the relevant environment related to the deployment.
  • Displays the status of the pods for that environment.

Overview

With cluster environments, you can gain insight into:

  • Which projects are deployed to the cluster.
  • How many pods are in use for each project’s environment.
  • The CI job that was used to deploy to that environment.
