Managing applications with Cloud Platform

Managing applications with Cloud Platform

Cloud Platform applications run on a Drupal-optimized platform. The core of the platform is an open-source LAMP infrastructure stack, combining the Linux (Ubuntu) operating system, Apache infrastructure, MySQL (Percona) database, and PHP programming language with Drupal. The default Cloud Platform configuration works as-is for most web experiences and other applications. Cloud Platform provides you with a suite of tools you can use to manage your applications and the domains and environments they run on.

What’s an application?

In Cloud Platform, an application is a software product that implements a web service, such as a Drupal-based website or a web-accessible API.

Here are some of the tasks you can perform using the Cloud Platform interface and other tools:

• Configuring your environments
• Managing Cloud Platform infrastructure
• Managing applications using the command line
• Managing backups
• Managing domains
• Managing files
• Using Cloud Actions

Acquia also offers a REST API to extend, enhance, and customize Cloud Platform. For more information, see Developing with the Cloud Platform API or API v3.
