The Reference Architecture

A CloudBlue Commerce installation consists of the following parts:

• A Kubernetes cluster. This is where all components are deployed and run. This cluster is partitioned into three namespaces:

  • A namespace for CloudBlue Commerce components

  • A namespace for APS connectors

  • A namespace for infrastructure components such as a monitoring and alerting solution, logging solution, and ingress controllers

• A PostgreSQL server. This is where databases of CloudBlue Commerce components are created.

• A file storage solution. This is where data of persistent volumes of components is stored.

• A load balancing solution. It is used for providing external and internal load balancers on demand.

• CloudBlue Commerce components. Each component is represented as a HELM chart.
