Connecting to your cluster

Launchpad builds your backend applications as docker containers that get deployed to a Kubernetes cluster.

Using Launchpad Open Source

We purposefully designed Launchpad to be flexible enough to deploy to a Kubernetes cluster of your choice. This makes it possible to use Launchpad's open source deployment framework in the cloud of your choice (AWS, GCP, Azure, Digital Ocean).

Using Launchpad with Mission Control

Using Launchpad with a Jetpack-managed cluster allows you to use Mission Control to speed up onboarding and deployment. Features only available in Mission Control supported clusters include:

  • One-step onboarding by signing into your Jetpack Account
  • Secrets and environment management with launchpad env
  • Preview and Production URLs with our bundled Ambassador Gateway

note

Provisioning managed clusters in non-AWS clouds from the Launchpad CLI is not currently supported. If you are interested in using Mission Control with these providers, please Contact Us
