Create an Environment
After creating your Blueprint, you can now launch the first manifestation of it, which is the Environment.
- Navigate to Blueprint > Overview, and you will see a prompt to create your first Environment.
- Select the Cloud Provider: The next step is to select the cloud provider. This will trigger a form for further configuration.
- Basic Details: In the first step, Name your environment, select its Time Zone and select its Release Stream. This information will be relevant when wiring builds.
- Under Advanced Options, you can choose the Environment Type.
- If you choose Ephemeral environments, you're opting for short-lived environments ideal for running tests.
Note: Please note that availability rules can be set only for ephemeral environments.
- Cloud-Specific Details: In the second step, you need to specify the CIDR Range for the VPC, making sure not to conflict with existing clusters if you have a use case for peering. Additionally, you need to select the Region, Availability Zones, and node family.
- Cloud Permissions: In the third step, you need to link the cloud account with the Facets control plane or select a pre-configured cloud account.
- Under Advanced Options, mention the VPC ID and Request Limit Ratio.
- Click Create.
