The Environments management interface, as part of an API management platform, allows users to monitor different deployment environments that serve as instances for deploying, testing and monitoring APIs. These environments are critical to ensure the seamless transition of APIs from the development to production phase, facilitate rigorous testing and enable efficient monitoring of API performance and behaviour. The environments give users centralised control over the entire API lifecycle, streamlining the management process and improving operational efficiency.

All your Environments

Below, there is a table listing all environments. Each row provides details about a specific environment, such as:

• Name: The designated name of the environment (e.g., "AWS", "Azure").

• Pinned: This column shows whether the environment is pinned for quick access, with a green pin icon indicating it is pinned.

• Stage: Indicates the stage of deployment, with all listed as "PRODUCTION" in this view.

• Agent: Denotes if a monitoring agent is associated with the environment, which is currently "No Agent" for all.

• Status: Reflects the current operational status of the environment. Here, each environment is marked as "Active".

In the top right, there is a "Register Environment" button, allowing users to add new environments to the platform.

Interface Features

• Search Bar: Enables filtering the list of environments by name.

• Pagination Controls: Allow navigation through multiple pages if there are more environments than can be displayed on a single page.

• Edit and Delete: The interface likely has edit and delete capabilities for each environment, as suggested by the interactive elements in the "Pinned" and "Status" columns.

Pinned Environments Section

At the top, we have the "PINNED ENVIRONMENTS" section which highlights key environments for quick access. Environments such as "AWS", "Azure", and "L7" are displayed with a clear indication of whether they have an associated monitoring agent. The presence of an "Agent" status suggests the possibility of enhanced monitoring features for the respective environment. Users can manage these pinned environments, including removing them by clicking the "Delete" button.
