About This Architecture

Enterprise Kubernetes platform roadmap integrating Istio service mesh, Velero backup, Gateway API ingress, and Azure managed services for complete cluster lifecycle management. Traffic flows from Azure API Management through Gateway API and NGINX ingress to Istio-managed services, with deployments scaled by HorizontalPodAutoscaler and KEDA event-driven autoscaling. Secrets sync from Azure Key Vault, persistent data backed by StorageClass and PersistentVolumes, and Velero handles cluster state recovery to Object Storage. CAST AI optimizes node costs while Azure Monitor observes the entire platform, demonstrating a mature, production-grade Kubernetes architecture. Fork this diagram to customize for your cluster topology, add additional namespaces, or integrate alternative service mesh and backup solutions.

What does a production-grade Kubernetes platform architecture look like with service mesh, backup, ingress, and cost optimization?

This diagram shows a complete Kubernetes platform with Istio service mesh for traffic management, Velero for cluster backup and restore, Gateway API and NGINX ingress for external traffic, KEDA and HorizontalPodAutoscaler for dynamic scaling, Azure Key Vault for secrets, and CAST AI for node cost optimization. It demonstrates how to integrate multiple open-source and managed services into a resili
