# Detailed Component Breakdown

Within the user's cloud environment, Condense provisions various resources to facilitate data ingestion:

### Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with Subnets

Condense establishes a dedicated VPC with segmented subnets for enhanced security and resource management.

* Kubernetes Cluster Subnet: Hosts the Kubernetes cluster for running Condense services in a private and secure manner.
* Virtual Machine Subnet: Houses the virtual machine acting as the Condense management server.
* Bastion Host Subnet: Provides a secure jump point for accessing the virtual machine for maintenance purposes.
* Database Subnet: Isolates the Postgres database used by Condense for configuration and pipeline data storage.
* Container Registry Subnet: Secures the container registry containing images specific to the deployed Condense instance.

### Kubernetes Cluster

Condense utilizes a private Kubernetes cluster to run its services. This ensures secure containerized deployments and efficient resource allocation.

### Container Registry

Condense leverages a container registry to store Docker container images required for its various services. This allows for version control and streamlined deployment processes.

#### Virtual Machine (VM)

Condense provisions a virtual machine serving as the management server. This VM executes scripts for deployment, configuration

* Manages Condense deployments and interacts with the Kubernetes cluster.
* Performs release checks and health monitoring.
* Provides a secure access point for authorized personnel (through Bastion host).

### Bastion Host

Condense utilizes a Bastion host as a secure gateway for accessing the management VM. This enhances security by eliminating direct internet access to the VM.

#### Postgres Database

Condense leverages a Postgres database to store critical information, including:

* User credentials for accessing the configuration dashboard.
* Master data such as connector and transform configurations, device information, and pipeline details.
* System configuration data for Condense services.
* A limited amount of Redis data is synchronized periodically for disaster recovery purposes.

#### Load Balancer & Public Static IPs

Condense utilizes a load balancer with public static IP addresses. This establishes an interface for devices to securely transmit data to the Condense application.
