Overview

As a platform owner, you deploy and manage OpenControlPlane so your teams can self-serve managed ControlPlanes. You configure the providers that back those ControlPlanes and the services that run on them. Your teams interact with the platform through a simple Kubernetes API.

End User

Create ControlPlanes, request services, and manage your custom resources.

This requires a running platform already set up by a Platform Owner.
