Configuration Files

strata uses YAML configuration files to define infrastructure, environments, and deployments.

File Types

Infrastructure:

• workspace.md - Infrastructure blueprint (topology, components)

• environment.md - Environment customization (overrides)

• deployment.md - Deployment instance (target, approval)

Platform:

• configuration.md - Validation rules (providers, topologies, regex patterns)

Resources:

• provider.md - Cloud provider credentials

• resource.md - VM/storage specs

• dns.md - DNS zones and records

• firewall.md - Security rules

• network.md - Network topologies, subnets, and peerings

• module.md - Reusable components

• namespace.md - Application packages

Workspace state:

• workflow.md - .strata/workflow.yaml — onboarding sequence for strata guide

Architecture

Deployment → Environment → Workspace → Resources (providers, VMs, firewalls, modules)

Naming Conventions

configurations/  00-defaults.yaml, 10-providers.yaml
workspaces/      platform.yaml, applications.yaml
environments/    development.yaml, production.yaml
deployments/     platform-dev.yaml, app-prod.yaml
providers/       kamatera-eu.yaml, azure-westeurope.yaml
resources/       vm_manager.yaml, vm_worker.yaml
firewalls/       web_public.yaml, api_internal.yaml
modules/         postgres.yaml, redis.yaml
namespaces/      frontend.yaml, backend.yaml

Quick Start

1. Define provider (credentials, region)

2. Define resources (VMs, firewalls)

3. Create workspace (topology, components)

4. Create environment (overrides)

5. Create deployment (target)
