Configuration manager

The PDS platform offers a Configuration Manager to streamline and centralize your environment-level settings for DNS, image registry, proxy, and other critical infrastructure components. This feature lets you create and manage configurations that all data services within your organization can share. By defining these settings in one place, you ensure a standardized and consistent approach to network resolution, container image sourcing, and external connectivity across multiple projects and clusters.

Example use case​

Imagine a global software development company, ABC Inc., that operates numerous test and production clusters in various regions. ABC Inc., wants to unify DNS records and use a secure, private image registry to control which container images are deployed to its services. Additionally, it must route all traffic through a specific corporate proxy for auditing and compliance requirements.

Using the Configuration Manager in PDS, ABC Inc., administrators:

  1. Create a DNS configuration to define a standard DNS provider across all clusters.
  2. Add an image registry configuration pointing to their private registry, ensuring only approved images can be used.
  3. Set up a proxy configuration so any external requests - like pulling updates or new images - flow securely through the company’s proxy.

With these configurations shared across all environments, ABC Inc., simplifies and unifies management, maintains compliance, and prevents configuration drift between different deployments.

For more information about creating, editing, or deleting DNS, Image Registry, or Proxy configurations, see the Configuration Manager documentation.
