# Minimum platform requirements

- A Kubernetes cluster you can administer (or delegated access to install an agent)
- Permission to create Kubernetes resources (agent install)
- Outbound network access from the cluster to Kubegrade endpoints (for SaaS/hybrid modes)
- Access to your Git/IaC repositories for PR workflows (optional but strongly recommended)



# Recommended operational prerequisites

- One GitOps tool (Argo CD or Flux)
- Namespace/environment conventions (dev/stage/prod)
- Basic RBAC model for platform/dev/auditor roles
- Staging environment for testing before production rollout



# Supported targets (high level)

- Managed Kubernetes providers (EKS, GKE, AKS)
- Enterprise/self-managed clusters (OpenShift, Rancher/RKE, upstream Kubernetes)
- Hybrid/multi-cluster environments
