DX Cloud Concepts
This section orients you to Magnolia DX Cloud: what the PaaS offering is, how onboarding works, and the core ideas behind architecture, environments, and day-to-day platform behaviour. It is written for integrators, technical owners, and other high-level readers who need the map before the hands-on runbooks.
Hands-on setup, deploy, Helm, security, and troubleshooting live in DX Cloud Operations.
What is DX Cloud?
DX Cloud is a digital Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering that provides:
- Magnolia CMS optimized for running in multiple clouds.
- A complete application development environment running in the cloud.
- Managed services for enterprise-grade security.
- A pre-defined continuous integration pipeline including automated quality, unit and retention testing.
- Magnolia optimized deployment blueprints for a continuous delivery pipeline.
DX Cloud gives you the power and flexibility of the Magnolia DX Core platform with the added bonus of handling the automation and deployment side of it all.
