Welcome to the Provisioning Platform documentation. This is an enterprise-grade Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform built with Rust, Nushell, and Nickel.

What is Provisioning

Provisioning is a comprehensive infrastructure automation platform that manages complete infrastructure lifecycles across multiple cloud providers. The platform emphasizes type-safety, configuration-driven design, and workspace-first organization.

Key Features

Workspace Management: Default mode for organizing infrastructure, settings, schemas, and extensions
Type-Safe Configuration: Nickel-based configuration system with validation and contracts
Multi-Cloud Support: Unified interface for AWS, UpCloud, and local providers
Modular CLI Architecture: 111+ commands with 84% code reduction through modularity
Batch Workflow Engine: Orchestrate complex multi-cloud operations
Complete Security System: Authentication, authorization, encryption, and compliance
Extensible Architecture: Custom providers, task services, and plugins

Getting Started

New users should start with:

Prerequisites - System requirements and dependencies
Installation - Install the platform
Quick Start - 5-minute deployment tutorial
First Deployment - Comprehensive walkthrough

Workspace-First Approach

Provisioning uses workspaces as the default organizational unit. A workspace contains:

Infrastructure definitions (Nickel schemas)
Environment-specific settings
Custom extensions and providers
Deployment state and metadata

All operations work within workspace context, providing isolation and consistency.
