# Operate cloud and edge resources

> Inspect container apps and edge devices, and verify changes to their runtime state.

Select the organization and project before opening **DevOps → Cloud** for Container Apps or **DevOps → Edge** for devices. Visibility and available changes depend on membership, roles, resource ownership and deployment configuration.

## Inspect and control a cloud app

In **Cloud**, select an app to inspect its status, image and configuration. If the list fails to load or its status is out of date, refresh it before changing the app. Creating or editing an app requires project permission and a configured environment.

For an app you are authorized to control, use its start or stop action, then refresh and verify its state. These actions change runtime state; they do not delete the app. If the action fails, check the error, project, app ownership, environment configuration and underlying cloud permissions. Project Owner permission is required for the start and stop operations.

To delete an app, first identify its users and dependent services, preserve any needed data, and confirm the intended target. Use the app's delete action and confirm the dialog, then refresh the list and verify the result. Deleting an app can interrupt its workloads; it is distinct from stopping it.

## Share an authenticated web application

For the supported project application path, see [Published web apps](https://docs.thinkplatform.ai/guides/operations/hosted-apps.md) and [Publish a web app](https://docs.thinkplatform.ai/cli/guides/apps.md). Hosted App publication is distinct from creating an ordinary Container App.

Permission to manage a Container App in ThinkPlatform does not automatically protect the application's own HTTPS endpoint or give it project-level authorization. Verify the application's authentication and its checks for the intended users before sharing its URL.

For an application that must reject unauthenticated requests from the first deployment, arrange a deployment with its entrance blocked until authentication is configured and verified. Do not assume the standard Cloud creation workflow enables authentication before an external endpoint becomes reachable. Ask the deployment administrator to prepare and verify that configuration before deploying the business application.

## Inspect an edge device

In **Edge**, select a device and inspect its connectivity, modules and deployment information. Select a module to inspect its twin. Desired properties describe the intended configuration; reported properties are the last state the module reported. A device showing online does not prove every module has applied the desired configuration.

For a deployment or twin change, verify the device and module, review the intended change, and use the controls available to your role. Afterward, inspect reported state and deployment status. If they differ from the desired state, check device connectivity, module health, image availability and pull access; allow time for the device to report back.

Container images are managed separately in [Registry and modules](https://docs.thinkplatform.ai/guides/operations/registry-and-modules.md). For agent runtimes, see [Operate agent workspaces](https://docs.thinkplatform.ai/guides/operations/workspaces.md).
