# Workload Isolation capability
<a name="workload-isolation-boundary-capability"></a>

 The Workload Isolation capability enables you to create and manage isolated environments for your workloads. This approach reduces the impact of vulnerabilities and threats, and eases the complexity of compliance by providing mechanisms to isolate access to resources. 

 

 **Stakeholders:** 
+  Central IT (Primary) 
+  Security 
+  Operations

 **Personas: ** 
+  **Cloud Team** - the team(s) who make cloud available to customers (such as App DevOps). 
+  **DevSecOps** - The team defining, building, analyzing, and mitigating access and authorization to application workloads and data assets.
+  **Audit and Compliance / Governance, Risk Management, and Control** - The team(s) performing review and approval of control adherence or exception. 

**Supporting capabilities**: [Governance capability](governance-capability.md) and [Network Connectivity capability](network-connectivity-capability.md)

 **Scenarios:** 
+ **CF7 - S1: Designing isolated resource environments**
+ **CF7 - S2: Isolated environment lifecycle management **
+ **CF7 - S3: Baselining isolated environments**
+ **CF7 - S4: Repeatable patterns for isolated environments**
