Infrastructure

SKE provisions infrastructure resources in your cloud account. Each resource type maps to native cloud services — RDS or Cloud SQL for databases, ElastiCache or Memorystore for caches, VPCs for networking.

All infrastructure operations are non-blocking. SKE submits the provisioning request and polls with exponential backoff. You can check progress with ske job list and ske job show.

Resource types

Resource	AWS	GCP	Docs
Database	RDS	Cloud SQL	Databases
Cache	ElastiCache	Memorystore	Caches
Network	VPC	VPC	Networks
Custom domain	ACM + API Gateway (Route 53 optional)	Certificate Manager + load balancer	Domains
Queue	SQS	Cloud Tasks	Queues

Scope

Infrastructure resources are scoped to a workspace. A database or cache can be shared across multiple environments within the same workspace, or dedicated to a single environment.

Networks must be created before databases and caches, since they require a VPC for private connectivity.

Tracking operations

All infrastructure provisioning runs as tracked jobs:

Shows detailed progress including individual provisioning steps and their status.

Operations have a 2-hour maximum runtime. If an operation exceeds this, it’s marked as failed and can be retried.
