# Provisioning Platform Documentation Welcome to the Provisioning Platform documentation. This is an enterprise-grade Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform built with Rust, Nushell, and Nickel. ## What is Provisioning Provisioning is a comprehensive infrastructure automation platform that manages complete infrastructure lifecycles across multiple cloud providers. The platform emphasizes type-safety, configuration-driven design, and workspace-first organization. ## Key Features - **Workspace Management**: Default mode for organizing infrastructure, settings, schemas, and extensions - **Type-Safe Configuration**: Nickel-based configuration system with validation and contracts - **Multi-Cloud Support**: Unified interface for AWS, UpCloud, and local providers - **Modular CLI Architecture**: 111+ commands with 84% code reduction through modularity - **Batch Workflow Engine**: Orchestrate complex multi-cloud operations - **Complete Security System**: Authentication, authorization, encryption, and compliance - **Extensible Architecture**: Custom providers, task services, and plugins ## Getting Started New users should start with: 1. [Prerequisites](getting-started/prerequisites.md) - System requirements and dependencies 2. [Installation](getting-started/installation.md) - Install the platform 3. [Quick Start](getting-started/quick-start.md) - 5-minute deployment tutorial 4. [First Deployment](getting-started/first-deployment.md) - Comprehensive walkthrough ## Documentation Structure - **Getting Started**: Installation and initial setup - **User Guides**: Workflow tutorials and best practices - **Infrastructure as Code**: Nickel configuration and schema reference - **Platform Features**: Core capabilities and systems - **Operations**: Deployment, monitoring, and maintenance - **Security**: Complete security system documentation - **Development**: Extension and plugin development - **API Reference**: REST API and CLI command reference - **Architecture**: System design and ADRs - **Examples**: Practical use cases and patterns - **Troubleshooting**: Problem-solving guides ## Core Technologies - **Rust**: Platform services and performance-critical components - **Nushell**: Scripting, CLI, and automation - **Nickel**: Type-safe infrastructure configuration - **SecretumVault**: Secrets management integration ## Workspace-First Approach Provisioning uses workspaces as the default organizational unit. A workspace contains: - Infrastructure definitions (Nickel schemas) - Environment-specific settings - Custom extensions and providers - Deployment state and metadata All operations work within workspace context, providing isolation and consistency. ## Support and Community - **Issues**: Report bugs and request features on GitHub - **Documentation**: This documentation site - **Examples**: See the [Examples](examples/README.md) section ## License See project LICENSE file for details.
