Architecture

Rig is a very customizable platform, that allows for a wide range of integrations. At the top, the Rig Platform is connecting together high-level components such as CLI/Dashboard, CI/CD and other tooling, with the individual clusters.

Most of these integrations are configured directly in the Platform, either in the Dashboard/CLI or in the Helm configuration file.

Clusters Architecture

For each cluster connected to the Rig Platform, the Rig Operator must be installed. This is in charge of applying Capsules, running plugins and watching object status on behalf of the Platform.

The plugins are run in the context of the Rig Operator, and allows for easy customization of the Capsule implementation, without the need for Helm. Additionally, the online nature of the Rig Operator means that plugins are also continuously observing the Kubernetes Objects and Events for any state change.
