Access and connections

There are two common connection methods:

  • Push: Alien uses a scoped identity in the environment to create or update resources.
  • Pull: a component in the environment opens the connection and uses the environment’s own identity.
push   Alien control plane → cloud API → deployment
pull   component in deployment → outbound HTTPS → Alien control plane

Read Deployment models for the exact setup and Permissions for the generated access.
