Management services

Vidos management services provide the control plane for configuring, deploying, and managing service instances across your verification infrastructure. These management services help ensure that your verification services operate according to your specific requirements while maintaining security and reliability standards.

Core concepts

Section titled “Core concepts”

Management services are specialized components that let you control the lifecycle and behavior of Vidos operational services. Each core Vidos service (Authorizer, Resolver, Verifier, Validator, and Gateway) has a corresponding management service that handles its configuration and instance management.

Management vs. operational services

Section titled “Management vs. operational services”

In the Vidos architecture:

  • Operational services (Authorizer, Resolver, Verifier, Validator, Gateway) perform the actual verification work in your trust infrastructure
  • Management services configure and control these operational services, handling administrative tasks like deployment, updates, and configuration changes

This separation of concerns creates a clear distinction between the verification operations and the management operations, letting you securely and scalably administer your verification infrastructure.

Common management capabilities

Section titled “Common management capabilities”

Each management service provides a consistent set of capabilities for its corresponding operational service:

Instance management

Section titled “Instance management”

Management services control the full lifecycle of service instances, including:

  • Creation - Deploy new service instances with specific configurations
  • Configuration - Apply and update operational parameters
  • Monitoring - Track instance health, status, and performance
  • Updates - Apply configuration changes or version updates
  • Deactivation/Reactivation - Temporarily disable or re-enable instances
  • Deletion - Remove instances when no longer needed

Configuration management

Section titled “Configuration management”

Management services handle configurations as distinct resources that:

  • Can be created and modified independently of instances
  • Can be applied to multiple instances
  • Maintain versioning for tracking changes
  • Support validation to ensure correct operation

Multi-tenancy and Access Control

Section titled “Multi-tenancy and Access Control”

All management services integrate with Vidos IAM to ensure:

  • Resources are isolated by account
  • Appropriate authorization for management actions
  • Audit trails for configuration changes
  • Role-based permissions for administrative tasks
