h1. Introduction

Petals Cockpit is a web interface to administrate a set of Petals ESB topologies.

It is a Java standalone server application running as backend, which serves over HTTPS an Angular 2 frontend application that will run in the browser.

From the web interface, users can connect to running instances of Petals containers and then administrate and deploy artifacts on them. The backend uses a data base to hold all persistent informations, like users and workspaces.

{warning}
Petals Cockpit *0.22.0* works with Petals ESB *5.2.0*, but may also work in degraded mode with previous versions.
