Kubernetes architecture overview - Port Swigger

Summary: PortSwigger's documentation describes the core components of Burp Suite DAST and how they connect: the DAST server acts as the main application server coordinating the other components, and the web server provides the user interface through the web UI or one of the APIs. The Kubernetes version requires connecting your own external SQL database to store all application data, and scanning resources automatically scale up to handle concurrent scans and scale back down when no longer needed.
What's compelling: Running Burp Suite DAST on Kubernetes puts your application data in an external SQL database you supply and manage yourself, so that database becomes part of your security perimeter rather than something the vendor handles for you.
