Science Platform operations

The Science Platform is described in LDM-542. This document contains operational notes of interest to administrators of the Science Platform but not of interest to users.

The Science Platform uses Argo CD to manage its Kubernetes resources. The Argo CD configuration and this documentation are maintained on GitHub.

A phalanx is a SQuaRE deployment (Science Quality and Reliability Engineering, the team responsible for the Rubin Science Platform). Phalanx is how we ensure that all of our services work together as a unit.
