Environments Overview

An environment provides the necessary infrastructure to run projects efficiently. Each workspace has a default environment, which is automatically assigned to projects that do not have a specific environment selected during creation.

You can create multiple environments within a workspace and choose the most suitable one for each project. These environments offer dedicated hardware, ensuring faster execution of flows. Additionally, each environment allows for the installation of different sets of Python packages and versions, ensuring compatibility with the transforms used in the flows.

All environments within the application are completely independent. The Python and Linux libraries installed in one environment are exclusive to that environment, ensuring isolation and stability.

Environment dashboard

You can access all the environments from the environments dashboard. On the each environment card, you can see details such as environment type, projects in this environment, date on which the environment is created, and the user who created the environment. You can also see the status of the environment. The status of the environment changes

Different status you can see for an environment:

• Start: Use this option to run the environment in the idle state. However, the environment starts automatically as you start working on projects in this environment.

• Running: Indicates that the environment is currently active.

• Launching: Indicates that the environment has started to use the hardware.

• Stop: Use this option to stop the environment from running.

• Shutdown: Indicates that the environment is shut down to save the cost.

• Failed: Indicates that the environment has failed to start.
