Overview

Stacks are fundamental to the network-level isolation of your resources. Each Stack is hosted in a specific region and is comprised of environments. Aptible offers two types of Stacks: Shared Stacks (non-isolated) and Dedicated Stacks (isolated).

Resources in different Stacks can only connect with each other with a network integration. For example: Databases and Internal Endpoints deployed in a given Stack are not accessible from Apps deployed in other Stacks.

​

Shared Stacks (Non-Isolated)

Stacks shared across many customers are called Shared Stacks. Use Shared Stacks for development, testing, and staging Environments.

​

Dedicated Stacks (Isolated)

Dedicated stacks are built for production environments, are dedicated to a single customer, and provide four significant benefits:

• Tenancy - Dedicated stacks are isolated from other Aptible customers, and you can also use multiple Dedicated Stacks to architect the isolation you require within your organization.
• Availability - Aptible’s Service Level Agreement applies only to Environments hosted on a Dedicated stack.
• Regulatory - Aptible will sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to cover information processing in Environments hosted on a Dedicated stack.
• Connectivity - Integrations, such as VPN and VPC Peering connections, are available only to Dedicated stacks.
• Security - Dedicated stacks automatically come with a suite of security features, including encryption, DDoS protection, host hardening, intrusion detection, and vulnerability scanning — alleviating the need to worry about security best practices.
