• Deploy Citrix ADC containerized proxy - CPX
• Deploy Citrix Cloud native stack in different K8s platforms (On-prem, OpenShift, Rancher, EKS, AKS, GKE, PKS)
• Deploy Citrix Cloud native stack for
  • Unified Ingress topology
  • Two tier topology
  • Service Mesh lite topology
  • ISTIO: Service Mesh topology
