Creating and Managing Environments

1

Create a new environment

Click New Environment in the upper-left area of the dashboard.

2

Configure the topology

Use the Topology Wizard to select the required application servers, databases, load balancers, resources, regions and scaling settings. Enter the environment name and click Create.

Created environments appear in the central dashboard panel.

NameDisplays the environment name or alias, its domain and the expandable list of included nodes.
StatusShows whether the environment is running, sleeping, stopped or currently undergoing an operation such as cloning, migration or redeployment.
TagsDisplays environment groups, region, container versions and deployed project information.
UsageShows resource consumption such as cloudlets and disk space and provides access to billing history.

Node and Instance Actions

Expand an environment to view its application servers, databases, load balancers, storage nodes, containers and deployed contexts. Hover over a layer or node to display the available actions.

Restart

Restart an individual node or all nodes within a layer.

Configuration

Open the configuration file manager, mount data or manage files.

Logs

View application and system log files for troubleshooting.

Statistics

Monitor CPU, RAM, network, disk and IOPS consumption.

Web SSH

Connect to a supported container directly in the browser.

Redeploy

Replace a container with another supported version or tag.

Add-Ons

Install optional modules and service integrations.

Additional Settings

Manage variables, links, volumes, commands, scaling and access details.

Admin Access

Open a database or application administration panel when available.

Node and instance action icons

Import and Marketplace

Import

The Import tool can process supported manifest or environment files to create a new environment or modify an existing one.

Local FileUpload a supported file stored on the local computer.
URLProvide a direct link to a manifest file.
JPS EditorInsert, review or edit JSON/YAML package code before deployment.
Environment import dialog
Import an environment package from a file, URL or built-in editor.

Marketplace

The Marketplace provides ready-to-install applications and add-ons. Search by package name or category, select the required solution and follow the installation wizard.

Environment Groups help organize multiple projects and can include subgroups such as development, testing and production. Network isolation can also be applied where supported.

Dashboard search
Search across the dashboard by name, project, container or IP address.

Use the search box in the upper-right corner, or the available keyboard shortcut, to locate environments, projects, containers, IP addresses or Marketplace packages. Search filters can limit results by source and category.

Environment groups
Organize application environments into groups and subgroups.

Deployment Manager and Tasks Panel

Deployment Manager

The Deployment Manager stores application packages and repository connections for repeatable deployment.

ArchiveUpload an application package from a local file or external URL.
Git / SVNSave repository details and credentials for version-control-based deployment.

Tasks Panel

The Tasks panel shows active and completed operations performed by the platform.

StatusIndicates whether an operation is running, completed successfully or failed.
TimeShows when the task started.
EnvironmentIdentifies the affected environment.
TaskDisplays the operation or error description.
DurationShows the execution time after completion.
Dashboard tasks panel
Monitor running, completed and failed platform operations.

Troubleshooting

Expand a failed task to inspect its parameters and server response. Recent errors may also include an option to send a report to the support team.

User Settings

Expected Result

After becoming familiar with the dashboard, users can create and configure environments, manage nodes, deploy applications, monitor operations, organize projects, control access and review account activity from a single interface.

Important Notes

  • Available dashboard options can differ depending on account type, hosting provider, region and selected application stack.
  • Some actions are hidden when an environment is stopped or when a layer does not support the selected function.
  • Deleting an environment is destructive and should be performed only after confirming that required data is backed up.
  • Review failed operations in the Tasks panel before repeating a deployment or topology change.
  • Use environment groups and search filters to simplify management of large numbers of environments.
