Kosmera Space: where IT manages Kosmera applications
Space is the management component of Kosmera. It handles sign-in, application registration, approved deployments, and audit logs, so IT has one place to look as the number of applications grows.
The questions IT needs to answer
As internal applications multiply, so do the questions IT is asked. This is how Space answers them for Kosmera applications today.

Deployments and environments
Available todaySpace packages, builds, and runs applications in managed environments, with separate non-production and production environments and promotion between them.
Deployment approvals
