Data Plane

The Eclipse Dataspace Connector consists of a Control Plan and a Data Plane Application. While the Control Plane managing several data transfers, the Data Plane is responsible for doing the actual transfer. Like this data is never routed through the control plane itself und must always pass the data plane.

Confidential Settings

Please be aware that there are several confidential settings, that should not be part of the actual EDC configuration file (e.g. the Vault credentials).

As it is possible to configure EDC settings via environment variables, one way to do it would be via Kubernetes Secrets. For other deployment scenarios than Kubernetes equivalent measures should be taken.
