Stax Features
Stax provides capabilities to help you manage your AWS Organization. It is built by an experienced team of developers, for use by people working in AWS every day, from developers to less-technical users that just need to access their organization's AWS accounts.
Organization
Organization
The Organization feature provides an overview of your Stax-managed AWS Organization including starred accounts you access frequently, and direct links to Stax's activity log, as well as change log, and upcoming maintenance activities.
Accounts
The Accounts page allows you to create, view, update, manage, and close AWS accounts in your AWS Organization. All accounts are hardened in accordance with the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark and AWS Well-Architected Framework.
Service Control Policies
Attach SCPs to a Stax-managed AWS Organization, Organizational Units, or directly to Stax-managed AWS accounts. Stax applies default SCPs to protect resources and configurations that provide critical security services and controls.
Foundation Services
A set of AWS-native configurable security controls that Stax configures within your AWS Organization.
Identity
Users
The Users page allows you to edit users' details (Username, Email and Role), reset a user's password and deactivate/activate a user.
Groups
Access to AWS accounts managed by Stax is governed by Groups. Groups can be assigned access to either built-in Stax roles by assigning AWS roles to a group, or to a customized Permission Set.
Account Types
Account Types are used to manage AWS Account Access Permissions for each Account Type by assigning Stax User Groups and Permission Sets.
API Tokens
Create and manage a list of API tokens with handy alerts for best practice token management.
Permission Sets
Permission Sets in Stax allow for the granting of tailored levels of access for users logging in to Stax-managed AWS accounts. Each Permission Set consists of a policy document and a number of (zero or more) assignments.
Workloads
Workloads
Workloads are packages of infrastructure-as-code that can be deployed to one or more AWS accounts from a single location. You can define your AWS resources and Stax will manage the orchestration of deployment, versioning and termination.
Catalog
Each item in the catalog represents a Workload that can be deployed into your accounts. It includes all deployable versions of the Workload, defaulting to showing the latest or "current" version.
Networks
Networking Hub
The Stax Networking Hub forms the basis of a Stax Network. It manages the traffic and connectivity between AWS resources, AWS VPCs and external resources.
Connections
Stax Connections allows you to use AWS Direct Connect or Site-to-Site Virtual Private Network (VPN) to securely link your on-premises environment to your Stax-managed AWS accounts.
