Setup Your Project

Step 1: Projects

Projects help organize infrastructure logically for better management and provide a structured approach to cloud resource organization.

To Create a Project:

1. Navigate to Projects Dashboard

   • Access the main projects section from the navigation
   • View all existing projects and their status
   • Look for the project creation options

Project Creation Interface Access the create project interface to start building your cloud infrastructure with project management tools.

2. Click "Create Project"

   • Enter your project name and details
   • Select the appropriate environment
   • Choose cloud account if needed
   • Complete the project setup

Project Configuration Panel Configure your project settings with name, environment selection, and optional cloud account integration.

3. Configure Project Details

   • Project Name - Choose a descriptive name for your project
   • Environment - Select Dev, Staging, or Production
   • Cloud Account - Choose AWS, Azure, or Multi-cloud Account (Optional)

Project Setup Form Complete the project creation with name, environment selection, and optional cloud account integration for your infrastructure management.

Project Successfully Added View your newly created project in the projects dashboard with all configuration options and ready for infrastructure creation.

Project Configuration Options:

Best Practices:

• Organize by Purpose - Create separate projects for different applications or environments
• Use Descriptive Names - Make it easy to identify projects at a glance
• Tag Consistently - Use consistent tagging for better organization
• Set Budget Alerts - Monitor costs for each project

Step 2: IADs (Infrastructure as Diagram)

IADs are drag-and-drop, version-controlled architecture blueprints inside each project.

What are IADs?

Infrastructure as Diagram (IAD) provides:

• Visual drag-and-drop canvas
• Version control for infrastructure
• Track changes over time
• Clear visualization of architecture

To Create an IAD:

1. Navigate to Your Project

   • Access the project where you want to create infrastructure
   • View project details and available options
   • Locate the IAD creation section

2. Start Architecture Creation

   • Click on the create architecture option
   • Choose your project and environment
   • Begin the architecture design process

Create Architecture Interface Start creating your infrastructure architecture with project selection and environment configuration options.

3. Set Up Architecture Configuration

   • Project Name - Choose a project name for your architecture
   • Environment - Set the target environment (Dev, Staging, Production)

Architecture Setup Interface Configure your infrastructure architecture with project name, environment selection, and cloud account integration.

4. Design Your Architecture

   • Drag and Drop cloud components from the component library
   • Configure each component's properties and settings
   • Connect components to define relationships and data flow
   • Organize your architecture with proper layout and grouping

Visual Design Canvas Use the comprehensive design interface to build your cloud infrastructure with drag-and-drop components, connection tools, and real-time validation.

Architecture Successfully Created Your new IAD is now complete with all components configured, validated your cloud environment.

IAD Features:

Working with the Visual Canvas:

Best Practices for IADs:

• Use Clear Naming - Name IADs descriptively (e.g., "Production-WebApp-v2")
• Version Regularly - Create versions at logical milestones
• Keep Organized - Archive old or unused IADs
• Monitor Changes - Review the change history regularly
• Test Before Deploy - Validate configurations before deploying
