What's Gazelle?
Gazelle is where you manage your virtual private cloud (VPC) pipelines. Gazelle uses a continuous integration pipeline to provision VPC resources into a cloud account of your choice. Gazelle provides a foundation for other Xilution products like Giraffe (our managed Kubernetes pipeline).

How it Works
First, you create a new pipeline configuration through the Gazelle Portal. Next, you provision a pipeline based on this configuration into the Xilution platform through the Gazelle Portal. Provisioning a pipeline into the Xilution platform invokes it for the first time. Pipeline invocation provisions cloud resources into your cloud account.
The following diagram describes a Gazelle pipeline in detail.
The pipeline uses xilution-basics-gazelle-ci to determine how it executes and which resources are provisioned into your cloud account.
Changes to xilution-basics-gazelle-ci cause the pipeline to be invoked.
Costs & Pricing
You are responsible for fees incurred through the use of resources provisioned into your cloud account by Xilution via Gazelle. These fees are paid directly to your cloud provider through your cloud provider account. In addition to these cloud provider fees, Xilution charges the following fees per provisioned pipeline. Xilution fees are charged to the credit card associated with the organization or sub-organization to which the pipeline is associated on the first day of each month for pipeline usage incurred during the prior month.
At the moment, we only support AWS. We plan to add more cloud providers in the future.

The Gazelle Portal is an easy to use web based interface where you can create, update, delete, provision and deprovision VPC pipelines.
Metrics
We collect key metrics on resources Gazelle provisions into your cloud account. This helps us determine if you are using your provisioned resource in the most efficient way.
Monitoring
When the key metrics that we monitor fall outside normal operating ranges, we will work with you to determine the best course of action.
