Vendor Portal

The Vendor Portal serves as the control plane for vendors, providing access to all Distr features, including application creation, artifact registry management, and monitoring of end-customer deployment states. In contrast, the Customer Portal offers a simplified interface for end customers, allowing them to configure and manage their deployments while centralizing release information and helpful instructions for operating the vendor’s software.
