Backstage, an open source project under CNCF, is a core platform engineering tool for building developer portals with a rich catalog of plugins. This guide demonstrates the integration of Stratos, a multicluster UI supporting Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes, into Backstage. It covers the creation of a Backstage plugin, embedding Stratos via an iframe, and configuring Nginx for proxying traffic, providing a centralized view of multicluster environments and easing infrastructure management.
