Cloud Console Guide
This page provides a complete guide to using the Cloud entity of the Namirasoft Infra Console. You will find a detailed explanation of how Cloud platforms are connected and structured for infrastructure monitoring, along with descriptions of each field used when creating and managing Cloud configurations. Use this guide to understand how Cloud connections allow Namirasoft Infra to collect operational data from cloud environments.
What Is a Cloud?
A Cloud in Namirasoft Infra represents a connection configuration that allows the platform to access and structure operational data from cloud infrastructure providers such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.
Cloud configurations define how Namirasoft Infra communicates with cloud environments to collect infrastructure signals, resource metadata, and operational information required for monitoring, investigation, and automation workflows.
Cloud connections also allow Namirasoft Infra to discover infrastructure components such as virtual machines, networking resources, container platforms, and managed services operating inside cloud providers.
Each Cloud configuration belongs to a specific Environment, ensuring that infrastructure data remains separated based on deployment stage and operational context.
The Challenge in Managing Cloud Infrastructure Access
Modern organizations frequently operate across multiple cloud providers and hybrid infrastructure environments. Accessing infrastructure data across these platforms often requires different authentication methods, access paths, and connection strategies.
Without a structured cloud access configuration, organizations may face several challenges:
Infrastructure data becomes difficult to collect consistently across providers
Monitoring and operational workflows may lack visibility into cloud resources
Authentication and access configuration becomes fragmented across tools
Cloud infrastructure dependencies become harder to track
Operational automation may lack accurate infrastructure data
Although cloud providers supply management consoles and APIs, they often do not provide centralized infrastructure data structuring across multiple environments and operational workflows.
How Namirasoft Infra Solves the Problem
Namirasoft Infra addresses cloud access challenges by introducing Cloud configurations as a structured infrastructure connection layer.
Cloud configurations allow teams to define how Namirasoft Infra connects to cloud providers and collects operational data. These configurations ensure infrastructure signals are properly organized, support consistent monitoring visibility, and provide reliable infrastructure data to Namirasoft Expert for analysis and automated operational workflows.
By connecting Cloud platforms through structured configurations, organizations can maintain consistent infrastructure visibility across distributed cloud environments.
Overview of Cloud Fields and Options
Below is a detailed explanation of the fields available when creating or managing a Cloud configuration. Understanding these fields helps ensure cloud infrastructure is properly connected and structured for monitoring and operational analysis.
-
ID (string): This is a unique identifier automatically assigned to the Cloud configuration when it is created. Users cannot modify or manually define this value.
-
User ID (Namirasoft Account’s ID): This is the unique identifier assigned to the Namirasoft Account user who owns the Cloud configuration. It is used internally for permission control and activity tracking.
-
Workspace ID (Namirasoft Workspace’s ID): This refers to a workspace created in the Namirasoft Workspace app, which identifies the workspace where the Cloud configuration is created. It ensures infrastructure configurations remain organized within the correct operational workspace.
-
Name (String): This is a human-readable label used to identify the Cloud configuration. The name helps teams distinguish between multiple cloud connections but does not affect infrastructure behavior.
- Cloud Type (Enum): This field defines which cloud provider Namirasoft Infra connects to. Selecting the correct provider ensures the system applies the proper integration and infrastructure discovery method.
-
- AWS (Amazon Web Services): Amazon Web Services is a cloud computing platform providing infrastructure services such as virtual servers, storage, networking, and managed application services.
-
- GCP (Google Cloud Platform): Google Cloud Platform provides cloud infrastructure services including computing, container orchestration, storage, and distributed application services.
-
- Azure (Microsoft Azure): Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that provides infrastructure, platform services, and application hosting environments.
-
- Other: This option is used when connecting private cloud environments or cloud providers that are not AWS, GCP, or Azure. Users typically select this option for custom infrastructure or unsupported cloud platforms.
- Kubectl On Server (Enum): This field defines which Server resource Namirasoft Infra uses to run Kubernetes communication commands. The selected Server acts as the execution point where Kubernetes infrastructure data is collected.
Users must create a Server resource before selecting it in this field. If no Server exists, users can click the “+” icon next to the field, which redirects them to the Server configuration page where they can create and configure a new Server. For more information, visit How it Works page.
What Is Kubectl?
Kubectl is a command-line tool used to communicate with Kubernetes clusters. It allows systems to retrieve cluster status, inspect workloads, monitor container health, and execute operational commands inside Kubernetes environments.
Below is an example of how kubectl commands typically appear when listing running pods inside a Kubernetes cluster:
kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
web-app-7d8f9c6d5b-xk2pl 1/1 Running 0 3d
api-service-5f7b6c8d9f-jr82m 1/1 Running 1 5d
database-controller-0 1/1 Running 0 10d
Namirasoft Infra uses kubectl to safely and securely collect infrastructure signals and monitoring data from Kubernetes environments hosted on cloud platforms or private infrastructure. For more information, visit Server and Kubernetes console guide pages.
- Description (String): This field allows users to document the purpose or scope of the Cloud configuration. It helps teams understand infrastructure context and ownership.
-
Created At (DateTime): This shows the date and time when the Cloud configuration was created. This value is automatically generated and cannot be modified.
-
Updated At (DateTime): This shows the date and time when the Cloud configuration was last updated. The value changes automatically whenever configuration details are modified.
