When a law becomes an architecture constraint

When a law becomes an architecture constraint

Introduction

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.

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.

Create an Environment

Environments represent the connection between Fractal Cloud and cloud-agnostic infrastructure across hyperscalers, local cloud providers, and on-prem environments.They define where Live Systems are deployed and allow teams to target specific cloud accounts, projects, clusters, or infrastructure domains through a consistent governance model.By associating Environments with Resource Groups, organizations can control workload placement while maintaining clear governance boundaries.This walkthrough shows how to create your first Environment and prepare it for cloud connectivity.

Initialize the Cloud Agent

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.
