Giant Swarm's platform API is a Kubernetes API that operates on each customer management cluster, offering custom resources (Cluster API clusters, App Platform apps, catalogs, policies) to create and update workload clusters and deploy applications, accessed via kubectl with the kubectl-gs plugin, GitOps (Flux) or the developer portal. Each management cluster has its own API endpoint, https://api./, provided by Giant Swarm.
