Platform resources

Platform-provided and reference resources — the service catalog, classes and pools other resources point at, and email templates you read or reference rather than create.

This section collects Datum Cloud’s platform-provided and reference resources: things Datum operates or publishes that you typically read or reference rather than create. They include the service catalog, the classes that other resources point at (such as a DNS zone class or a gateway class), the address pools that back IP allocation, and the email templates that shape platform notifications.

These differ from the resources you create and manage day to day inside a Project — networks, DNS zones, gateways, workloads, and the like. Those are documented across the rest of the reference; see the API resources overview for the full picture. The pages below describe the shared, upstream pieces you consume: you reference a class by name, opt in to a service, or draw addresses from a pool, but the resource itself is provided for you.

These APIs are currently alpha (v1alpha/v1alpha1). Resources, fields, and defaults may change in backward-incompatible ways between releases.

Service catalog

The catalog of managed capabilities Datum offers, the entitlements you create to use them, and the consumer records providers see.

Service

The platform-owned identity record for a managed capability, keyed by its canonical serviceName.

ServiceEntitlement

Created in your Project to opt in to a service; one per service you want to use.

ServiceConsumer

The provider’s view of an entitlement, reflected into the provider Project for approval and tracking.

Reference classes & pools

Classes and pools are provided by the platform and referenced by name from the resources you create — pick a class or pool, and Datum supplies the implementation behind it.

DNSZoneClass

The class a DNS zone references to select how the platform hosts and serves it.

GatewayClass

The class a gateway references to select its platform-provided implementation.

IPPool

The address pools that back IP claims and allocations in your Project.

Templates

EmailTemplate

The reusable email content the platform renders when it sends notifications.
