Start with Papliba

1. Choose your installation

Papliba brings Azure infrastructure exploration, policy checks, and workflow design into one workspace. The web interface talks to a Papliba backend, also called the runner. A website alone cannot access your Azure environment.

Choose Local to process and save your workspace on your computer. Choose Self-hosted when your organization will operate the backend and database on its own server. Cloud runs these services in Papliba’s Azure environment; managed Cloud access is not open yet.

2. Connect Azure

In Local, install Azure CLI and its resource-graph extension, then sign in with your own organization account. In a hosted installation, sign in to Papliba with Microsoft and choose Connect Azure in Account settings. Your Azure permissions determine what can be read.

az login --tenant <your-tenant-id>
az extension add --name resource-graph

3. Explore your infrastructure

1. Open Azure in the workspace sidebar. Start with Network, or switch to List to search resources.
2. Select a subscription filter, then open a virtual network to inspect subnets and peerings.
3. Use Refresh to reload inventory. Read any incomplete-data warnings before drawing conclusions.
4. Open Policy Validation to save a plan and check Azure’s recorded evaluations.

4. Build your workspace

Create projects and workflow diagrams, edit Python step files, or sketch a network in Infradraw. Workflow execution is not implemented in this release. Infradraw sketches do not create Azure resources.
