Architecture
Overview
Codezero is made up of components that run locally on your developer workstation, in the Kubernetes cluster and a central cloud hosted Hub. The following color code identifies where the sub-components identified below run.
This diagram defines all the components that make up Codezero:
Hub
The Hub is managed by Codezero and is available at https://hub.codezero.io. The Hub is the central authority that manages Organizations, Users, Roles, Policies and Teamspaces.
If you would like to run a self-hosted Hub, please reach out to sales@codezero.io
Teamspace
A Teamspace is a vanilla Kubernetes cluster with Codezero installed. A Teamspace consists of a System and an Operator.
System
The System is a Kubernetes controller that manages in-cluster resources that are added or altered depending on developer actions. It gives visibility into all activities happening in the cluster and coordinates between local and in-cluster tunnels.
The System has a single tunnel that is used for traffic between local and in-cluster services.
Operator
The operator manages Serve resources in a Kubernetes.
Local
The local agent is made up of two components:
- A CLI and Daemon
- A Desktop App
Daemon
The Daemon runs with root privileges and is:
- A tunnel to the current selected Teamspace
- A secure proxy for client applications (czctl, desktop app) to communicate with the current Teamspace
The Daemon executable is generally located at /usr/local/bin/czctl.
The Daemon is started when you run czctl start.
Desktop app
The Desktop app contains the CLI and Daemon. It requires root/admin privileges to start the Daemon.
