<description><p>The &ldquo;Provisioner&rdquo; is responsible for setting up, updating/upgrading, and tearing down Cores. It does this in an entirely stateless way communicating with either the aacount management and billing system or the management system. Naturally, there are command-line utilities and an API available to accomplish all functions.</p>
<h3 id="order">Order <a href="#order" class="anchor" aria-hidden="true"><i class="material-icons align-middle">link</i></a></h3><p>When and order comes through the account management and billing system, a manifest is created asking for a Core to be create with the required SaaS titles. This <em>manifest</em> is sent to the Provisioner which then requests a virtual machine (or machines, if the manifest includes load balancing or other extended Core services), then begins to build the Core software from the manifest. You can read more about the minimal build at <a data-bs-delay="{&#34;hide&#34;:300,&#34;show&#34;:550}" data-bs-html="true" data-bs-title="<a href='http://enterprise.federated.computer/docs/federated-core-platform/provisioning/core-mini/'><p>PROVISIONING</p></description>

<description><p>Federated maintains its own Linux distribution for the specific purpose of control of the types and versions of software used in virtual machine. This descrease the surface area for attacks, increased maintainability for the Cores built on top, and assures our systems work on X64 and Arm (example: Ampere) systems as well as fully supporting IPv4 and IPv6 for cloud deployment.</p>

<title>Authentication</title>

<guid>http://enterprise.federated.computer/docs/federated-core-platform/provisioning/authentication/</guid>
|
||
<description><p>One of the obstacles to deploying open source SaaS is user management. When each application has its own user management, it becomes complicated to build a workable system for the business or team, to build reliable workflows across applications, and to ensure security for the business or team for data. Federated Core Platform provides two layers of authentication to deal with these problems.</p>
<h3 id="ldap">LDAP <a href="#ldap" class="anchor" aria-hidden="true"><i class="material-icons align-middle">link</i></a></h3><p>The foundation of Federated Core Platform authentication is LDAP. Every application connects to LDAP. If it doesn&rsquo;t use LDAP, it doesn&rsquo;t work on the platform. There are some applications for which the <em>only</em> account in LDAP is the administrator and the other users are created in the application itself. And example is Vaultwarden (password manager) because of the very sensitive nature of the information in Vaultwarden <em>outside</em> of access to Core services. You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).</p></description>

|
||
<description><p>Core Scanner is a utility to examine and manage each Core on a given installation of Federated Core Platform. It allows a customer service person to examine the Core, look at all the configuration files, see any anomalies in the files, track usage of resources (CPU, RAM, storage, network), and perform tightly managed actions on the Core to take remedial steps as needed.</p>
<p>Each installation of Core Scanner includes user and group priveleges so that the owner of the Federated Core Platform can look at all Cores running, but also partners can examine and manage the Cores of their customers. For example, a managed service provider may have a number of Cores for which they will want to be able to provide monitor and fix service3. Core Scanner allows them to see those Cores, only.</p></description>

|
||
<guid>http://enterprise.federated.computer/docs/federated-core-platform/management/update-and-upgrade/</guid>
|
||
<description><p>Each Federated Core Platform installation has a Gitea respository where the software (OS, utilities, platform, open source SaaS) for the entire system is tracked. The operator of each installation is able to package those updates into regular upgrades pushed out to some/all Cores on the system, push them out individually for testing to some Cores, or schedule updates for a given list of Cores.</p>
<p>Since the nature of the Federated Core Platform is delivering open source SaaS to customers, there needs to be a testing protocol set up to ensure updates are in fact needed/wanted. Federated Computer does this centrally, so operators using Federated Core Platform can know the software will &ldquo;work&rdquo;. However, there may be additional concerns with respect to security, other customizations that need to be tested, etc.</p></description>

<description><p>Every Core running on an installation of Federated Core Platform, every application running on every Core, and every service not an application running on every Core, is monitored in real time to ensure it runs, has the system resources needed, and provides customers with the best experience. If there are anomalies detected, alerts are created and can be sent to the local Matrix server, and Federated Monitor and Fix system attempts to solve the problem using patterns and the service definitions in place.</p></description>

<description><p>Federated will be delivering in early 2026 an &ldquo;on premise&rdquo; solution for using artificial intelligence to create and deploy workflows between open source SaaS applications offered by Federated Core Platform. The design goal is to empower a customer to, for example, use Core Workflow Intelligence to take a grouping of customers from EspoCRM, connect them, based on conditions or parameters, to the mailing list software, and send AI-generated email communications to those customers based on actions taken in the Woocommerce store on Core.</p></description>

|

<description><p>It is easy to package an open source SaaS application to work on Federated Core Platform. The project simply needs to create a package for the docker container, service files describing how the application connects to LDAP and Authelia for authentication, descriptions of premium licenses and how Federated Core Platform needs to recognize those for inclusion in premium services (example: OIDC), and then a template file for allowing for the correct choice of virtual machine resources and the Federated Monitor and Fix to ensure great experience for the customer. This package is dropped into the Provisioner service manager and is ready to be purchased/deployed by the billing system.</p></description>

|
||
<description><p>More and more, open source projects work with Federated Computer because we simplify the go-to-market. An open-source project hoping to monetize by selling a cloud service is now in the business of creating great SaaS software but also making it multi-tenant, building an ecommerce experience, and building and running a (hopefully) large cloud service. With Federated Core Platform, open source SaaS companies can off-load much of that to Federated while still maintaining the ability to charge for premium features and services.</p></description>

<description><p>Federated Core Platform includes a number of bundles (collections of open source SaaS software and services) specifically designed for specific enterprise customers and market types. Examples of these are <a href="content/docs/software-catalog/federated-commerce.md">Commerce</a> and <a href="content/docs/software-catalog/federated-omnimedia.md">Omnimedia</a>.</p>
<p>It is possible to address &ldquo;pro&rdquo; customers in a couple ways. The first would be to design, build, and deliver a total solution using the building blocks available in Federated Core Platform and its software catalog.</p>
<p>However, there will be many opportunities to build out additional collections/bundles for customers requiring different sets of software and services delivered bespoke for their particular needs. These don&rsquo;t have to come from Federated Computer but can be designed and delivered by our partners and sold through all available channels including other operators, networks, and platforms. Open source allows us maximum flexibility to deliver great solutions to customers without re-inventing every wheel.</p></description>

<description><p>Outlets with significant communities can use Federated&rsquo;s affilaite programs to earn up to 30% (the number is really dependent on your own installation&rsquo;s exigencies!) on sales. Affiliates are a great way to build reputation and trust with customers while compensating those affiliate channels for their endorsements.</p>
<p>We have found the best affiliates are those that use Federated Core products. When an affiliate is emeshed in open source and especially the open source SaaS offered through Federated Core Platform, the crediblity of the recommendation to the affiliate&rsquo;s community is sterling.</p></description>
