+====== Container Platform ======

+===== Discussion =====
+A Container Platform is a computing platform that supplies the runtime and supporting capabilities required to deploy and operate [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:containerized_workload|Containerized Workloads]].
+A Container Platform may supply:
+  * A container runtime
+  * Workload scheduling
+  * Resource allocation
+  * Network connectivity
+  * Service discovery
+  * Storage integration
+  * Identity and access controls
+  * Security controls
+  * Configuration distribution
+  * Secret distribution
+  * Health monitoring
+  * Logging
+  * Scaling
+  * Workload restart and recovery
+A Container Platform uses one or more [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:container_image|Container Images]] to instantiate the containers associated with a Containerized Workload.
+A Container Platform differs from a container runtime:
+  * A container runtime creates and operates individual containers
+  * A Container Platform combines a container runtime with capabilities used to deploy and operate Containerized Workloads
+A Container Platform differs from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:k:kubernetes_cluster|Kubernetes Cluster]]:
+  * A Container Platform is the general concept
+  * A Kubernetes Cluster is a Container Platform realized through Kubernetes control-plane components and worker nodes
+A Container Platform may operate:
+  * On physical computing resources
+  * On [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_machine|Virtual Machines]]
+  * Within an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_environment|Infrastructure Environment]]
+  * Through a provider-managed service
+  * In a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:connected_environment|Connected Environment]]
+  * In a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:disconnected_environment|Disconnected Environment]]
+  * In an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:air-gapped_environment|Air-Gapped Environment]]

+===== Note =====
+A Container Platform does not by itself establish that the platform is:
+  * Securely configured
+  * Highly available
+  * Compliant with an applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]]
+  * Authorized to execute a particular Workload
+  * Connected to an external network
+  * Suitable for production operation
+Separate requirements govern those determinations.
+The term does not prescribe:
+  * A container runtime
+  * An orchestration technology
+  * A deployment topology
+  * A network implementation
+  * A storage implementation
+  * An operating system
+  * A provider
+  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provider_implementation|Provider Implementation]]
+===== Example =====
+A Kubernetes Cluster, comprising worker nodes, a container runtime, networking, storage integration, identity controls, logging, and monitoring, serves as a Container Platform for deployed Containerized Workloads.
