Rahti Service Description - Services for Research

Public Detailed service description

Rahti provides a container orchestration platform based on Kubernetes, allowing users to deploy and manage containerized workloads within their projects. It enables flexible and scalable deployment of workloads which can vary from static stateless services to complex stateful applications.

Users can deploy and scale their applications using standard Kubernetes resources such as Deployments, StatefulSets, and expose them via Services, Routes, and Ingresses. The running applications can range from web servers, background workers to data processing pipelines, Machine Learning tools, scientific simulations, and long-running services. Rahti supports persistent storage, LoadBalancer service type, dedicated outbound IP addresses, TLS-enabled communications, and integration with other CSC services such as Pukki and Allas.

Access to the Rahti cluster is available through a web-based user interface, as well as through standard Kubernetes-compatible command-line tools (oc, kubectl). CI/CD pipelines and automation tools can be integrated using Kubernetes APIs and tokens as well as builtin BuildConfig feature.

Key functionalities of the service include:

Deploying containerized applications using Kubernetes.
Support for both stateless and stateful workloads.
Persistent storage volumes via RWO access mode.
Application routing and exposure via Ingress and Routes with TLS.
Configuration management.
Monitoring and logging of applications.
Role-based access control (RBAC) tied to project membership.
