Getting Started

Anchor centralizes privileged resource operations around inventory, policy, execution jobs, session access, and audit evidence. A first evaluation works best when it starts with the control model and then expands toward sensitive infrastructure.

First evaluation path

Start with a non-production environment. Create a small set of representative resources, attach policies, run verification jobs, review rotation behavior, and inspect the logs generated by each action.

Core components

• Anchor API: the control-plane API and execution orchestration layer.
• Anchor UI: the console for operators, administrators, and reviewers.
• PostgreSQL: authoritative persistence for configuration, job state, and audit metadata.
• Anchor Connect: component layer for brokered session workflows.

Safe first milestone

A strong first milestone is one resource type, one or two scopes, a clear policy, working verification, and readable audit history. That proves the operating model before expansion.
