Getting Started
Welcome to SCALE! This guide walks you through every step - from onboarding your application to managing Day-2 operations.
🚀 Setup & Provisioning​
On-Boarding an Application​
To use the SCALE environment, your application must first be on-boarded. On-boarding creates an initial development environment called a Workspace and gives your team secure access to all CI/CD tools needed to build, test, and deploy cloud-aware applications.
The on-boarding process is identical for DevOps and CaaS and uses a common order form. The key difference is that CaaS on-boarding requires provisioning at least one CaaS pipeline.
Pipeline (AppStack) Provisioning​
A Pipeline is a set of automated CI/CD processes and tools in Azure, configured by SCALE to help your team collaboratively build, test, and deploy code. Pipeline technology offerings (sometimes called AppStacks) vary over time.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Technology images | Provided by SCALE for standard pipelines; CaaS pipelines are "empty" (bring your own image) |
| Order limit | Up to 10 pipelines per order |
| Ordering after onboarding | Use the CloudOne DevOps > Manage order form |
Hostspace Provisioning​
Hostspaces are deployment environments for your application components after development and initial unit testing. They support:
- ✅ Integrated testing
- ✅ User acceptance testing (UAT)
- ✅ Staging & Production
- ✅ Production DR
Up to 10 Hostspaces can be provisioned per order at on-boarding, or individually via the CloudOne DevOps > Manage form.
- Provision all spaces in the same Cluster if your application is not cluster-aware.
- Provision Dataspaces in the same Cloud Region as Hostspaces to avoid performance degradation and connectivity issues.
Dataspace Provisioning​
Dataspaces are cloud hostspaces overlaid with a database technology stack. They support data storage and management alongside application components deployed to a Hostspace.
Up to 10 Dataspaces can be provisioned via the CloudOne DevOps > Manage order form.
- Provision all spaces in the same Cluster if your application is not cluster-aware.
- Provision Dataspaces in the same Cloud Region as Hostspaces to avoid performance degradation and connectivity issues.
🔧 Day-2 Operations​
Once your resources are provisioned, the CloudOne SCALE portal provides ongoing management capabilities.
Pipeline Capabilities​
After a pipeline is provisioned, the following actions are available:
