Get Started
The initial setup connects four things: a StationOps organisation, a project, an AWS account, and application source. After those foundations exist, create and deploy an infrastructure configuration.
Recommended Order
- Create or select an organisation and project.
- Create a project and its lifecycle environments.
- Connect AWS and select the account and region used by the project.
- Connect GitHub or GitLab for private source.
- Create an infrastructure configuration.
- Add services and required components.
- Review the configuration diff and deploy the infrastructure.
Organisation and Project Scope
Organisation settings contain shared members and cloud or Git connections. Projects contain environments, services, infrastructure configurations, access groups, and deployments.
Use separate projects when workloads require clearly separated access, cloud accounts, or operational ownership. Use environments inside one project for the lifecycle of the same application.
Project administrators can archive inactive projects without deleting their data. See Organisations and Projects for archive and restore workflows.
Start Small
Create development and production environments, then add staging only when the delivery process needs a distinct pre-production gate. Every environment adds capacity and configuration that must be maintained.
