description: What in terms of components or building blocks is needed in a platform?
---
> This page is in work. Right now we have in the index a collection of links describing and listing typical components and building blocks of platforms. Also we have a growing number of subsections regarding special types of components.
## CNCF
> [Here are capability domains to consider when building platforms for cloud-native computing](https://tag-app-delivery.cncf.io/whitepapers/platforms/#capabilities-of-platforms):
* Web portals for observing and provisioning products and capabilities
* APIs (and CLIs) for automatically provisioning products and capabilities
* “Golden path” templates and docs enabling optimal use of capabilities in products
* Automation for building and testing services and products
* Automation for delivering and verifying services and products
* Development environments such as hosted IDEs and remote connection tools
* Observability for services and products using instrumentation and dashboards, including observation of functionality, performance and costs
* Infrastructure services including compute runtimes, programmable networks, and block and volume storage
* Data services including databases, caches, and object stores
* Messaging and event services including brokers, queues, and event fabrics
* Identity and secret management services such as service and user identity and authorization, certificate and key issuance, and static secret storage
* Security services including static analysis of code and artifacts, runtime analysis, and policy enforcement
* Artifact storage including storage of container image and language-specific packages, custom binaries and libraries, and source code
## IDP
> [An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) should be built to cover 5 Core Components:](https://internaldeveloperplatform.org/core-components/)
| Core Component | Short Description |
| ---- | --- |
| Application Configuration Management | Manage application configuration in a dynamic, scalable and reliable way. |
| Infrastructure Orchestration | Orchestrate your infrastructure in a dynamic and intelligent way depending on the context. |
| Environment Management | Enable developers to create new and fully provisioned environments whenever needed. |
| Deployment Management | Implement a delivery pipeline for Continuous Delivery or even Continuous Deployment (CD). |
| Role-Based Access Control | Manage who can do what in a scalable way. |
