Backups
Protect service data with repeatable backup workflows that stay attached to the stack.
Imports and migration
Bring working data into another environment or onboard existing workloads faster with stack-defined import flows.
Configs
Keep service config files versioned with the stack instead of rebuilding them per environment.
Settings
Tune service behavior per environment while keeping one reusable stack baseline.
Actions
Keep one-off and lifecycle commands with the service instead of relying on manual runbooks.
Volumes
Provision the persistent storage and shared volume relationships the stack expects.
Service links
