Resource Groups help organizations structure cloud infrastructure with clear ownership and access control.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.
Environments represent the connection between Fractal Cloud and your actual cloud infrastructure.They define where Live Systems are deployed and allow teams to target specific cloud accounts, projects, or clusters.By associating Environments with Resource Groups, organizations can control where workloads run while maintaining clear governance boundaries.This walkthrough shows how to create your first Environment and prepare it for cloud connectivity.
The Cloud Agent enables Fractal Cloud to manage infrastructure securely inside your cloud account.All communication is outbound only, with no open ports, VPNs, or inbound firewall rules required.Once initialized, the Agent continuously monitors infrastructure state, detects drift, and reconciles resources automatically based on the desired configuration defined in Fractal Cloud.This video demonstrates how to initialize the Agent and connect an Environment to your cloud infrastructure.
