Introduction

An environment is where you deploy and manage your infrastructure within a project. Each environment has its own billing and can be configured for different purposes such as "production", "staging", "development", or dedicated environments for specific clients.

Components

Each environment includes:

• Instance Pools: Manage the deployment and scaling of instances
• Services: Deploy applications (web servers, CRON jobs, databases, etc.)
• Load Balancer: Route traffic to your services
• Environment Variables: Share configuration between services
• Monitoring: Track performance and health metrics

Providers

Environments can have multiple providers configured to deploy instances. This offers flexibility in:

• Using different cloud platforms
• Deploying across multiple regions
• Managing costs by choosing the most suitable provider

Environment Types

LayerOps offers three types of environments (Starter, Basic, and Premium) with different features and capabilities to suit your needs. Each type comes with its own set of limits and features.
