Chapter 5 ■ Using the Tectonic Console

The single master node and the three worker nodes are listed, as shown in Figure 5-4.

Figure 5-4. Listing the nodes

Tectonic provides the following services for applications deployed in a user's cluster: Tectonic Console,

Tectonic Identity, Tectonic Support, Tectonic Wizard, and Tectonic Manager. Tectonic Console is a web

management console for a Kubernetes cluster. Tectonic Identity is for user management for services on a

Kubernetes cluster. Tectonic Support is the support from a team. Tectonic Wizard is the Tectonic installation

and configuration wizard. Tectonic Manager is for management of the Tectonic services themselves.

Tectonic is available at three subscription levels: Starter, Lab, and Enterprise. Starter includes just

the Tectonic Console and does not provide security (SSO) features; it is suitable as an initial starter level.

Tectonic Lab includes the Tectonic Console with Quay Enterprise Basic but does not include security

features. Tectonic Enterprise includes Tectonic Identity for Trusted Computing in addition to the Tectonic

Console with Quay Enterprise Basic and is suitable for production. While the Lab and the Enterprise levels

are fee-based, the Starter is free. We shall use the Tectonic Starter subscription level in this chapter. Tectonic

Starter level does not authenticate users.

Next, register for the Tectonic Starter account at https://tectonic.com/starter/.

Downloading the Pull Secret and the Tectonic Console

Manifest

Tectonic is mainly an infrastructure platform that enables enterprises to run containers with Kubernetes

anywhere, securely and reliably. The Kubernetes cluster makes use of a Pull Secret to download the Tectonic

Console image. The Pull Secret is a Kubernetes formatted file containing the credentials required to

download the Tectonic Console image. Click on Account Assets after creating a Tectonic Starter project and

click Download Kubernetes Secret for the Pull Secret file coreos-pull-secret.yml as shown in Figure 5-5.
