Fractal Cloud
Initialize the Cloud Agent

Initialize the Cloud Agent

Introduction

The Cloud Agent enables Fractal Cloud to securely manage cloud-agnostic infrastructure across hyperscalers, local cloud providers, and on-prem environments.All communication is outbound only, eliminating the need for open ports, VPNs, or inbound firewall rules.Once initialized, the Agent continuously monitors infrastructure state, detects drift, and reconciles resources automatically according to the desired configuration defined in Fractal Cloud.This walkthrough shows how to initialize the Agent and connect an Environment to your infrastructure.

When Compliance Becomes Architecture

NIS2 and DORA usually get discussed as paperwork and lawyer territory. But if you actually read them, these obligations translate directly into architecture constraints. The mandate for an "exit strategy" actually means your infrastructure must be portable. The strict 24-to-72 hour incident reporting windows (NIS2) mean you can't waste days mapping the blast radius; your system inventory needs to be instantly queryable. And the requirement for "operational resilience" means a single component failure must be contained before it cascades into a disaster.In this session we set the compliance side aside and look at the engineering problems these rules actually create. For each one we see where the constraint bites, why it is hard to solve, and how you solve it in practice using Fractal Cloud as a concrete example.

Cloud Architecture Patterns on Fractal Cloud, From Pattern to Production in Minutes

You know the patterns. You've drawn them on whiteboards dozens of times.But between the pattern and a production-ready environment, there's always the painful part: tickets, YAML, manual dependencies.In this Fractal Sprint, we show how the most common cloud architecture patterns like CQRS, Saga Pattern, Event-Driven Architecture and more become real. No slides about how they should work. We'll show how they do work, provisioned live, with governance and security already built in.For Devs who build. For Ops who govern. For teams who want to stop reinventing the wheel every time.

Create a Resource Group

Resource Groups help organizations structure cloud-agnostic infrastructure with clear ownership and access control across hyperscalers, local cloud providers, and on-prem environments.Whether resources are organized by customer, environment, project, or business unit, Resource Groups provide the governance layer for managing Fractals and Live Systems at scale.This walkthrough shows how to create your first Resource Group in just a few clicks.
