API Group: workload.platformspec.io
The workload.platformspec.io API Group defines the core platform services that support workloads, ensuring developers and applications can efficiently interact with and leverage the platform's capabilities. This group does not define workloads themselves, but rather encompasses the infrastructure, services, and integrations provided by the platform to enable workloads to run effectively.
The primary focus of workload.platformspec.io is developer enablement, offering platform-native capabilities such as APIs, service meshes, artifact storage, message queues, CI/CD pipelines, and authentication systems. These services are not application-specific, but rather form the essential building blocks that workloads depend on—providing seamless integrations, runtime support, and operational automation.
By defining these core services as part of the Platform Specification, workloads.platformspec.io ensures that platform teams can establish standardized, reusable, and scalable systems for managing workloads, securing applications, and enabling continuous delivery workflows. This API Group provides the essential abstractions required to deliver a modern, developer-friendly cloud platform, empowering teams to build and deploy software without reinventing common platform capabilities.
