## Infrastructure description

* **Kubernetes cluster:** Vectice will be containerized and deployed within your existing Kubernetes cluster. This ensures scalability, resource efficiency, and simplified management.
* **SQL instance :** a PostgreSQL 13.X instance to store application content.
* **Bucket/container:** A designated storage bucket will be used to house documentation attachments.
* **Cloud-Provisioned load balancer:** An external load balancer, provisioned through your preferred cloud provider, will efficiently distribute incoming traffic to the Kubernetes cluster. This ensures high availability and scalability.
* **DNS resolution:** Configure your internal DNS server to resolve a designated hostname to the IP address or name of the cloud load balancer. This allows users to access Vectice through a user-friendly domain name.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vectice.com/25.2/it-and-security/deployment/kubernetes-self-hosted-offering/general-architecture-and-infrastructure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
