Architecture and Design Principles

Architecture of AI Teams Edition

Protegrity AI Team Edition delivers core Protegrity capabilities. This includes governance, discovery, protection, privacy, and semantic controls. It is provided in a lightweight, containerized form factor that emphasizes fast deployment, simplified operations, and consistent enforcement of data security policies across environments. It is designed around five engineering goals: ease of deployment, high availability, scalability, extensibility, and maintainability.

GoalImplementation Details
Ease of Deployment- OpenTofu templates provision a Kubernetes environment (EKS) with minimal manual intervention.
- Helm Charts deploy and configure all components for consistent, reproducible setups.
- Because each component runs as a container image, upgrades and patches follow standard CI/CD workflows.
High Availability- Kubernetes manages service health and redundancy automatically.
- No Trusted Appliance Cluster (TAC) required.
- No external load balancers required.
- No manual replication required.
Scalability- The system scales horizontally and vertically through Kubernetes-native scale-up and scale-down mechanisms.
- Administrators can adjust resources dynamically as workloads grow or shrink without redeployment.
Extensibility- New capabilities are introduced by adding new container images and Helm configurations.
- Allows incremental feature expansion without redesign.
Maintainability- Kubernetes simplifies lifecycle management.
- Updating a container image replaces an older version automatically, avoiding downtime and manual patching.
