Core Concepts
Namespace
A Namespace acts as a workspace that organizes your services. It isolates containers, databases, and other components under a single environment to streamline access and configuration.
Services
Each deployable unit—like a container or database called a Service. Services are configurable and can be managed via the UI or the Nexaa API.
Account Status
Your Account Status determines whether your account can provision paid resources. Users stay in full control of what gets deployed and when.
Shared Responsibility Model
Using Nexaa means participating in a shared responsibility model—a clear split between what Nexaa manages and what remains under your control. This ensures flexibility, security, and accountability.
