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.
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.
Fractals are versioned, reusable, cloud-agnostic infrastructure patterns that standardize production-ready architectures across hyperscalers, local cloud providers, and on-prem environments.Using the visual editor, teams can compose infrastructure by connecting Blueprint Components across domains such as networking, compute, storage, APIs, messaging, observability, and custom workloads.Once published, a Fractal becomes a reusable and governed deployment pattern that application teams can instantiate without requiring infrastructure expertise or writing Infrastructure as Code.This walkthrough shows how to create your first Fractal through visual infrastructure composition and reusable Blueprint Components.
