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.
