description An overview of Layer5 Cloud concepts and their relationships.

The Layer5 Cloud provides a comprehensive suite of management tools for cloud-native infrastructure. Understanding the core entities and how they interact is essential for effectively managing your service meshes, clusters, and designs.

Core Entities

The following concepts form the foundation of the Layer5 Cloud ecosystem:

  • Workspaces: Logical isolation boundaries for organizing team members, environments, and resources.
  • Environments: Specific deployment targets (e.g., Development, Staging, Production) within a Workspace.
  • Designs: Visual representations of your infrastructure patterns and service mesh configurations.
  • Catalogs: Repositories of reusable patterns and best practices shared across the community or organization.

Understanding Relationships

To get the most out of Layer5 Cloud, it is important to understand how these components interact:

Concept Relationship Purpose
User to Workspace Many-to-Many Users can collaborate across multiple isolated workspaces.
Workspace to Environment One-to-Many A single workspace can host multiple environments for lifecycle management.
Design to Catalog Many-to-One Designs can be published to a catalog for broader consumption and version control.

Next Steps

For a deeper dive into the technical implementation of these concepts, please refer to our Architecture Documentation.
