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.

meshModel

EntitySummary
meshUserAn individual user account. Roles define its level of access and permissions.
meshPartnerPartners administrate and support a meshcloud installation.
meshWorkspaceA DevOps Team that manages its own meshProjects and permissions
meshWorkspaceUserGroupA group of users on a meshWorkspace, that can be granted access via roles.
meshProjectA multi-cloud project owned by a meshWorkspace
meshTenantAn isolated environment in a specific cloud platform, e.g. an AWS Account.
meshLandingZoneDefines configuration and governance policies for cloud environments.
meshPlatformAn individual cloud platform connected to meshcloud.
meshLocationA grouping of meshPlatforms, e.g. by geographic region.

meshPanel

The meshPanel is the self-service user interface for meshStack and provides different control planes to manage various aspects of your meshObjects depending on your rights:

  • workspace control plane

    Manage the access of your team members in your meshWorkspace, change the tags or check the available payment methods for your meshWorkspace.

  • project control plane

    Get an overview of all locations and their platforms of your meshProject. Add new team members to it or change the payment methods of your project.

  • tenant control plane

    Access the platform of your meshTenant, request Quotas for it or check the usage reports.

The above description serve as an example what you are able to do as Workspace Manager. Check out meshWorkspace Roles for more details.
