Compute and access

Virtual machines, serverless functions and direct shell access across your connected clouds.

Beyond Kubernetes, Pangea lets you work with the rest of your compute and open a shell where you need one.

Virtual machines

Browse and inspect your instances with status, metrics and details in one place:

Serverless

SSH terminal

Open a shell on a VM (EC2, Lightsail or Compute Engine) from inside Pangea. You don't manage SSH keys yourself.

SSH depends on three things: provider IAM, network reachability and the instance's own OS access. Ask the agent to check these before you count on a shell.

Port forwarding

In the Mac app, you can forward a local port to a remote service, such as a database inside a private network, and reach it from your machine. Active forwards show in the bottom bar, so you always know what is open.

A forward needs an active tunnel. Check its target, and stop it when you are done. It is not permanent network configuration.

Tip

The agent can use the same capabilities. Ask it to check a service over a forwarded port or run a diagnostic on an instance.

Other providers

The Connect catalog also includes Tencent CVM, Alibaba Cloud ECS and SWAS, Volcengine ECS, Huawei Cloud, Azure and Hetzner. See What each connector can do.

The resource pages in the app are a convenience, not a limit. The agent can use any authorized provider operation through its CLI or API, even for resources that have no page in the app.
