Goal
Explain where notifications fit relative to operations alerts and resource detail pages.Prerequisites
- A signed-in account
Workflow
Notifications versus alerts
Notifications are part of the account experience. Operations alerts are the platform-health prioritization surface. They overlap, but they do not serve the same job.When to use each surface
- Use notifications when you want account-level awareness of product activity.
- Use operations alerts when you are triaging runtime or platform problems.
- Use resource detail pages when you need the full evidence for one workload or node.
What the notification settings and inbox include
- Pause duration and quiet-hours controls
- Delivery-channel configuration for email and Slack webhook behavior
- A searchable inbox with read state, category filters, and navigation into the relevant resource or operations page
Expected result
Notifications and operational alerts are not confused for each other.
