[AG.DEP.5] Standardize and manage shared resources across environments
Category: RECOMMENDED
Cross-environment resource sharing is the practice of deploying, managing, and providing access to common resources across various environments from a centrally managed account. This approach enables teams to efficiently use and manage shared resources, such as networking or security services, without the need to replicate their setup in each environment. By unifying the management of these foundational resources, individual teams can focus more on the functionality of their workloads, rather than spending time and effort managing common infrastructure components.
Platform teams should deploy and manage shared resources into accounts they manage, then provide APIs or libraries that individual teams can use to consume the shared resources as needed. This approach reduces redundancy and promotes standardization across the organization, allowing development teams to concentrate on their unique workloads rather than complex infrastructure management.
