Fleet Dashboard¶
The Fleet Dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into your SaaS fleet operations, offering real-time insights into deployment health, workflow status, patching progress, and operational metrics across all your deployment models and cloud environments.
Overview¶
Managing a distributed SaaS fleet across multiple cloud providers and deployment models presents unique operational challenges. The Fleet Dashboard serves as your central command center, providing unified visibility into:
- Fleet Health: Real-time status of all deployment instances
- Workflow Management: Active, completed, and failed operations
- Patching Operations: Version updates and maintenance activities
- Alert Management: System events and notifications
- Resource Inventory: Plans, subscriptions, and deployments
Why Fleet Visibility Matters¶
Operational Complexity at Scale¶
As your SaaS grows, operational complexity increases exponentially. Without proper visibility, you face:
- Blind Spots: Inability to detect issues before they impact customers
- Reactive Operations: Discovering problems only after customer complaints
- Resource Waste: Inefficient resource allocation and utilization
- Compliance Risks: Difficulty tracking changes and maintaining audit trails
- Scaling Challenges: Manual processes that don't scale with growth
Multi-Cloud and Multi-Deployment Model Challenges¶
Operating across different cloud providers and deployment models introduces additional complexity:
Cloud Provider Variations
- Different APIs, tools, and operational paradigms
- Varying service availability and feature sets across regions
- Inconsistent monitoring and alerting capabilities
- Diverse cost structures and billing models
Deployment Model Diversity
- Hosted Model: Your infrastructure, your responsibility
- BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud): Customer infrastructure, shared responsibility
- On Prem: Off-line instalations, limited access
Each model requires different operational approaches while maintaining consistent service quality.
