However, they don’t provide an end-to-end process. Greenhouse does by wiring plugins together and providing (codified) guidance for the Plugins. For example: The kube-monitoring plugin provides end-to-end monitoring from alerts, playbooks, dashboards that work with the Prometheus, Alertmanager, Thanos, Supernova, etc. . + +### Is Greenhouse replacing Concourse? + +No. Greenhouse aims to make deployment of operational content (alerts, playbooks, dashboards) easy. Concourse and the CE deployment process is not touched. + +### Will Greenhouse replace the ukt for deploying into clusters? + +### What is a plugin? + +Plugins extend the capabilities of the core platform. + +A plugin can consist of a back- and frontend. The backend is codified operational knowledge (alerts, playbooks, dashboards, configuration) or selected tools (Prometheus, Plutono, etc.). The frontend is shown in the Greenhouse UI. + +### What is an extension? + +The terminology is plugin. + +### What is the difference between plugin and extension? + +The term is plugin. + +### Will Ceph be managed in Greenhouse? + +No. Greenhouse is an operations platform and does not manage Ceph. Greenhouse deploys Ceph alerts, playbooks, dashboards to the Ceph Kubernetes clusters. + +### Who supports the monitoring stack in OpenStack, Ceph, KVM, and all other flavors of clusters used for CCloud? + +Team Observability supports the plugins for the foundational monitoring components (Prometheus/Thanos, Alert manager, ...) + +### Where can I find a matrix of which support group owns which plugin? + +### Who to contact for general questions regarding Greenhouse? + +Arno Uhlig, Ivo Gosemann or general questions via the #greenhouse channel in Slack. \ No newline at end of file
