Good to Know

Understanding the basics of cloud infrastructure will help you get started quickly:
  • Server: A physical or virtual machine that runs your applications.
  • : A group of servers working together for reliability and scalability.
  • Cloud Instance: A virtual server provided by a cloud provider.
For more information:
Cloud regions let you organize your infrastructure by geographical location. Choosing the right region can improve performance for and help meet data residency requirements of your customers.
  • Regions are typically named by location (e.g., fsn1 for Falkenstein, Germany in Hetzner Cloud).
  • Deploying in multiple regions can provide redundancy and lower latency for global customers.
Helm charts are packages that simplify deploying and managing software on Kubernetes. When you create a product with Helm sources, CNAP automatically generates a versioned, self-contained package that combines all your sources into a single package.
  • Many popular applications already have Helm charts available.
  • CNAP automatically generates packages from your sources
  • Packages are versioned and self-contained (all dependencies bundled)
