Folder Organization
Folders are used to organize resources in a hierarchical structure in the Strata Cloud Manager. They form the foundation of resource organization and provide the following benefits:
- Logical organization of resources by function, team, or purpose
- Hierarchical navigation through nested folder structures
- Inheritance of policies and configurations from parent folders
- Simplified management of resource permissions
See the Folder documentation for detailed information on working with folder objects.
Snippet Management
Snippets are reusable configuration elements that help maintain consistency across your environment. They provide the following advantages:
- Standardized configurations that can be applied consistently
- Reduced duplication of common configuration patterns
- Simplified maintenance through centralized configuration management
- Ability to associate snippets with folders for organization
See the Snippet documentation for detailed information on working with snippet objects.
