Deployment Overview

What does a Cado deployment consist of?​

At its core, a Cado deployment consists of:

  • Infrastructure - A core virtual machine that permanently runs
  • Cado account/subscription/project role - Permissions to manage the main virtual machine, and start worker virtual machines if used.
  • Cross-account role - Permissions to copy data into the main account. Architecture diagrams are available for AWS, Azure and GCP.

What deployment options are available?​

A “minimal” deployment involves starting a virtual machine with only the minimal permissions required to operate. This may be simpler in highly restricted environments. This is available in AWS, Azure and GCP.

A full deployment enables the ability to utilize workers for faster processing and importing large systems. This is available in Cloudformation in AWS, and Terraform in AWS, Azure and GCP.

What permissions are required?​

Descriptions of required permissions are available for AWS, Azure and GCP.

How to import from other accounts and cloud providers?​

Permissions are required to copy data from other accounts and cloud providers in AWS, Azure and GCP.
