  name: Giant Swarm Platform API
  description: 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.<management cluster base domain>/, provided by Giant Swarm.

  description: The Giant Swarm Observability Platform API imports and exports metrics, logs and traces through upstream-compatible
    endpoints (Prometheus remote write and query API, Loki push and query API, Tempo/OTLP) on a shared per-installation host
    https://observability.<domain_name>, authenticated with an OIDC bearer token plus an X-Scope-OrgID tenant header; it must
    be enabled for an installation by the Account Engineer.
