Codiac Concepts

ConceptDescription
AssetAn asset is a workload. Codiac supports two asset types: Docker image in a public or private registry and Helm charts.
CabinetA cabinet is a space for you to run your collection of assets together as an isolated instance of your enterprise. Cabinets are grouped by environment and are provisioned on a single cluster. Cabinets are a convenient way to separate projects within an environment being shared by a team. For example, you could create separate sandbox, qa, and staging cabinets in the same environment.
ClusterA cluster is an orchestrated collection of virtual machines on which Codiac deploys customer software. Clusters also include network infrastructure to enable connections between services and the internet.
EnvironmentAn environment is a grouping of clusters and assets contained within an enterprise. Environments are a convenient way to group workloads by team, like dev, prod, and demos.
EnterpriseAn enterprise is a grouping of clusters, assets, and environments contained within a tenant.
TenantA tenant is the highest-level scope within a Codiac account. It contains the Codiac subscription and its own list of users, enterprises, environments, assets, and clusters. In Codiac, tenant data is entirely isolated; that is, one tenant has no access to another's data.
Zombie ModeZombie Mode allows you to shut down your environment on a schedule. Shutting down your environment when it's not in use saves you money.
