Summary
The Local Kubernetes Platform is an enterprise-grade, reproducible 3-node Kubernetes cluster running locally on Kind, fully provisioned and managed as code through Terraform.
It serves as the dedicated runtime environment for microservices, packaged with automated GitOps continuous deployment through in-cluster ArgoCD, RFC-compliant wildcard domain routing via Ingress-Nginx, full Prometheus & Grafana observability, and automated health monitoring via Gatus.
