Configuring your Layer5 account 🔗

The first steps in starting with Layer5 are to create an account, verify your email, setup an organization and a workspace, and view your profile.

Meshery Catalog functions much like a cloud marketplace, providing a user-friendly interface for browsing, discovering, and sharing configurations and patterns for cloud native infrastructure. With Meshery Catalog, you can easily find,clone and deploy Kubernetes-based infrastructure and tools, making it easy to streamline your cloud native development and operations processes.

Cloning a design from a template in the Meshery Catalog 🔗

Sign into Layer5 Cloud
Explore the catalogs located in the menu section.
Search by technology or type and find the best template for your infrastructure. You will already see some of the information just by hovering on it.
For detailed information just click on it.
Simply click the green clone button.
Now you have it. Navigate to Meshery Playground
Go to the Kanvas and you will see your cloned template here. If you con’t see it just reload the page.

You can also publish your own design as a template.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction 🔗

Meshery’s GitHub Integration is a powerful feature that lets you authorize your GitHub account and import infrastructure files into Meshery. These files are then readily available in the Meshery catalog and can be easily opened in the Meshery Playground for viewing and configuration.

The GitHub integration offers an alternative to importing designs from the canvas or through mesheryctl. It simplifies configuration management and enhances deployment workflow efficiency. By leveraging this integration, you ensure your infrastructure designs are easily accessible and always up-to-date.
