Workspace Platform Application Defaults and Resource Requirements

The following table provides a list of platform applications that are available in DKP with the Kommander component. Some of them are deployed by default on attachment, others require manual installation.

Workspace platform applications require more resources than solely deploying or attaching clusters into a workspace. Your cluster must have sufficient resources when deploying or attaching to ensure that the platform services are installed successfully.

The following table describes all the workspace platform applications that are available to the clusters in a workspace, minimum resource requirements, and whether they are enabled by default.

Traefik	traefik	Yes	cpu: 500m

Currently, DKP only supports a single deployment of cert-manager per cluster. Because of this, cert-manager cannot be installed on any Konvoy managed clusters or clusters that come with cert-manager pre-installed.
Only a single deployment of traefik per cluster is supported.
DKP automatically manages the deployment of traefik-forward-auth and kube-oidc-proxy when clusters are attached to the workspace. These applications are not shown in the DKP UI.
Applications are enabled in DKP and then deployed to attached clusters. To confirm that your enabled application has successfully deployed, you should verify via the CLI.
