Introduction

CStack (ContainerStack) is part of Runtime in the Singapore Government Tech Stack (SGTS). It helps agencies reduce overheads in setting up and maintaining the infrastructure required for DevSecOps so that development teams can focus on building great products. By leveraging CStack, agencies can accelerate their journey into agile application development.

Overview

CStack is an IM8-compliant container deployment platform built on GCC 2.0 that:

• Hosts up to Confidential Cloud Eligible (CCE) and Sensitive Normal workloads.
• Offers Kubernetes-as-a-Service to automate deployment, manage, and scale containerized applications.
• Integrates with SHIP-HATS to enable Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery/Deployment, and automated application testing.
• Pipes logs to StackOps for application monitoring and is exempt from ABLR compliance. Platform SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) is managed by the platform team.
• Tracks application deployment using Git and applied via GitOps.
• Provisions and integrates with managed cloud resources, such as object storage and relational databases using a declarative approach.
• Secures your workload with an integrated set of container security tools.

How you benefit

CStack provides the following benefits:

• Leverage on the CStack team to manage Kubernetes operational work, so that you can focus on building great products.
• Kickstart agile application development with DevSecOps practices from day one, without setting up the necessary infrastructure yourself.
• Increase developer productivity and performance through standardization and repeatable deployment patterns that are tracked in a central repository.
• Secure and ensure compliance with every release. CStack’s infrastructure-as-code and policies-as-code manages infrastructure compliances for you, allowing you to focus on compliance processes relating to your business domain.

Managed Cloud Resources

On top of providing Kubernetes-as-a-Service, CStack exposes native cloud resources that your application can integrate with. Examples include:

• Elastic Block Storage (EBS)
• Simple Storage Service (S3)
• RDS PostgreSQL
