Mercan Technology Insights
What is the problem?
Installing a cluster is only the beginning. Without an agreed ownership model, upgrades, access, observability and incident response become unclear across platform and application teams.
What should teams define?
- Who operates the control plane, nodes, networking and storage?
- How are deployments, secrets, access policies and images reviewed?
- What monitoring and recovery signals must be available before workloads move in?
Mercan perspective
Choose platform responsibilities before selecting automation tools. A managed platform can reduce infrastructure work when the application team has a clear interface for deployment and support.
