In today’s fast-paced development landscape, environments are no longer simple or isolated. You’re managing resources that span across development stages, geographies, and technologies. And as those environments grow more complex, so does the need for a more logical and efficient way to manage them.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Logical Environments — a powerful new feature designed to give you the ultimate control and clarity over your multi-resource, distributed environments. With this new capability, you can organize and manage your environments the way you define them, not the other way around. Whether you want to align by development stage, resource type, or geographical region, Logical Environments will bring it all together in one consolidated view.
Why Logical Environments Matter
As your system grows, so does the complexity of managing multiple environments across different resources and locations. The challenge lies in making sense of all the pieces — the different K8S clusters, S3 buckets, Lambda functions — and being able to visualize them in a coherent way. Kosli’s Logical Environments feature addresses this head-on by allowing you to model and manage your environments according to criteria that actually make sense for your workflows.
Whether you’re working with Dev, Test, or Prod environments across several regions, Logical Environments gives you a combined view of all artifacts, changes, and events — all in one place. No more juggling fragmented insights from individual physical environments. Now, you can stay ahead with an elevated perspective of your entire operation.
Key Benefits of Logical Environments
With this feature, you can:
- Model environments your way: Define logical environments according to development stages, resource types, or regions. This flexibility lets you tailor your approach to fit your unique needs.
- Consolidated view: Gain a comprehensive, real-time view of all your resources, distributed environments, and the changes happening across them.
- Dynamic environment management: Use Kosli’s UI or API to construct, rename, tag, and manage logical environments dynamically. Add or remove physical environments as your system evolves.
- Centralized event logs: Track all snapshots and changes from every physical environment in one place, making it easier to maintain visibility and control.
With Logical Environments, you have the ability to dynamically construct these models, rename them as needed, and even add or remove resources with ease. And all of this can be done right from the UI or through the API.
A Deeper Look: Key Capabilities
1. Dynamic Logical Environment Construction
- Combine multiple physical environments into a single logical environment.
- Rename, tag, and manage these logical environments for optimized organization.
- Adjust environments as necessary by adding or removing physical elements.
2. Multi-Environment Visibility
- Get a bird’s-eye view of all your artifacts and changes across environments.
- Access a centralized event log that gives you a historical snapshot from each connected physical environment, ensuring a clear audit trail of actions and deployments.
3. Flexible Environment Modeling
- Logical Environments are adaptable to your structure. Organize them based on development stages, geographical regions, or resource types. Whether you’re handling ECS clusters, Lambda functions, or S3 buckets, you’ll have complete oversight.
Why This Matters to You
By empowering you to control your environments logically, Kosli’s new feature transforms how you manage complex, distributed systems. No matter how your architecture scales or changes, you can trust that Logical Environments will give you the visibility and control you need to make informed decisions and streamline operations.
