Cluster

A Kubernetes cluster registered with Pipekit.

A Cluster in Pipekit is a Kubernetes cluster that runs Argo Workflows and has the Pipekit Agent installed.

Each Cluster you register belongs to one Organization and is the execution target for Runs of the Pipes scoped to it. Pipekit communicates with the Cluster through the Pipekit Agent, which runs in-cluster alongside Argo and brokers commands and status between Pipekit's control plane and your workflow engine.

You'll encounter Clusters during initial setup (connect one before you can submit any workflows) and during day-to-day operations: a Pipe Run targets a specific Cluster, and disaster recovery flows let you fail Pipes over from one Cluster to another.

For task-oriented documentation, see Using Pipekit > Clusters and the disaster recovery runbook.
