LGF standardizes how business platforms are deployed, governed, repaired, moved, and operated.
A bench is a complete governed platform deployment, not just an app instance.
Each bench carries declared configuration, runtime expectations, and lifecycle intent.
Benches are operated through governed workflows for deploy, verify, repair, backup, restore, and update.
Benches can be moved or restored while preserving operational behavior and support boundaries.
Declared contracts define what a bench is allowed to do and how it is operated over time.
LGF treats lifecycle as governed operations, not manual administrator routines.
Initialize a bench into known-good operational state through declared inputs and controlled execution.
Confirm drift boundaries, runtime expectations, and declared artifact state before operating changes.
Reconcile invalid or drifted state through governed repair workflows rather than one-off fixes.
Capture recoverable bench state as part of continuity workflows, not as optional ad-hoc actions.
Return benches to known-good state with repeatable restore workflows and explicit operational control.
Apply framework and library evolution through controlled change paths with verifiable outcomes.
Decommission benches through governed procedures that preserve operational traceability and handoff clarity.
Authority and execution contracts, runtime gates, and policy enforcement.
Platform definitions, source/image authority, and runtime artifacts.
Declared behavior for lifecycle, networking, security, and integrations.
Portability is an operational capability governed by policy. LGF makes movement technically repeatable, while organizational policy determines when, where, and how movement is allowed.
Control how platforms are hosted, moved, and supported according to provider policy.
Support cloud-only, provider-hosted, hybrid, on-prem, regional, and partner-delivered models.
Support residency and jurisdiction requirements through controlled workload movement.
Move predictable workloads to environments that better align with provider capacity and business planning.
Preserve support continuity during mergers, datacenter shifts, and customer environment changes.
LGF supports multiple platform classes through one operational model.
