Overview
Welcome to the meshcloud platform documentation!
Here, you can find information on how to use meshcloud and an explanation of the most important concepts.
Introduction
Quite a bit of complexity in multi-cloud management and multi-cloud governance comes from the use of different and inconsistent terminology between cloud platforms. meshcloud rectifies this using a unified language describing organization and governance structures independent of individual cloud platform implementations. We call this language the meshModel. Each individual object in this meshModel is called a meshObject. To resolve ambiguity we're prefixing entities in the meshModel using the mesh prefix.
The figure and table below explain the relation of the most important concepts in the meshModel.
| Entity | Summary |
|---|---|
| meshUser | An individual user account. Roles define its level of access and permissions. |
| meshPartner | Partners administrate and support a meshcloud installation. |
| meshCustomer | A DevOps Team that manages its own meshProjects and permissions |
| meshCustomerUserGroup | A group of users on a meshCustomer, that can be granted access via roles. |
| meshProject | A multi-cloud project owned by a meshCustomer |
| meshTenant | An isolated environment in a specific cloud platform, e.g. an AWS Account. |
| meshLandingZone | Defines configuration and governance policies for cloud environments. |
| meshPlatform | An individual cloud platform connected to meshcloud. |
| meshLocation | A grouping of meshPlatforms, e.g. by geographic region. |
