# mulesoft Anypoint Platform Control Planes - Full Documentation --- product: Anypoint Platform Control Planes --- # Anypoint Platform Control Planes Overview > For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt Anypoint Platform control planes are the MuleSoft-managed environments where you design, deploy, and manage APIs and Mule apps. Each Anypoint Platform organization lives in exactly one cloud. Sign in to that control plane and deploy Mule apps to the runtime planes it supports. For the full catalog of control planes (including MuleSoft Government Cloud and Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition (PCE)) and the control plane and runtime compatibility matrix, see [Anypoint Platform Hosting Overview](https://docs.mulesoft.com/hosting-home/). ## Control Plane Clouds MuleSoft hosts a control plane in each supported geography and names that regional control plane a cloud, for example US Cloud or EU Cloud. US Cloud is the US control plane. EU Cloud is the EU control plane. _Cloud_ is the product name of that isolated Anypoint Platform instance (login URL, organization, and data residency). _Control plane_ is the management layer in that instance, as distinct from the [runtime plane](https://docs.mulesoft.com/hosting-home/#control-plane-and-runtime-plane), where apps run. You choose one cloud for your organization. You don’t choose a cloud and a control plane as two separate products. - To create and deploy a Mule app, see [Creating and Deploying Mule Apps](https://docs.mulesoft.com/control-planes/creating-and-deploying-mule-apps). - If you host Mule, or the app must use API gateway on a non-US Cloud, also see [Control Plane Hostnames and Allowlists](https://docs.mulesoft.com/control-planes/control-plane-hostnames-allowlists) and [Configuring Mule to Access Anypoint Platform Control Planes](https://docs.mulesoft.com/control-planes/configuring-mule-control-planes). For data residency and compliance notes for each control plane, see [Control Plane Hosting Options](https://docs.mulesoft.com/hosting-home/#control-plane-hosting-options). ## Sign In to the Control Plane Sign in to the Anypoint Platform control plane that holds your organization. Use the platform URL for that cloud. Organizations and user accounts are not shared across clouds. MuleSoft adds new regional clouds over time. 1. Go to the platform URL for your cloud:
| Geographic Region | Control Plane | Platform URL |
|---|---|---|
Americas |
| |
| ||
Europe |
| |
| ||
Asia Pacific |
| |
| ||
|
| Runtime | When to set anypoint.platform.base_uri and related properties | Why |
|---|---|---|
CloudHub or CloudHub 2.0 | When you deploy the app, in the Properties tab in Runtime Manager, if the app must use API gateway with a non-US Cloud control plane. See Configuring App Properties in Runtime Manager. | MuleSoft hosts Mule in that control plane. You don’t install it. Set these properties only if that app uses API gateway and your organization is not on US Cloud. Hosted Mule still defaults to US Cloud for the gateway connection. |
Hybrid Standalone | When you install and register Mule, before you deploy apps onto that server. See Configuring a Hybrid Standalone Instance. | You host Mule. The instance cannot reach your organization until you point it at the same control plane and register the Runtime Manager agent. See Setting up Hybrid Standalone Instances. |
Runtime Fabric | Don’t set | The fabric connects to the control plane when you install it. Configure network access for the cluster instead of setting |
On-premises (not registered to Runtime Manager) | Don’t set | Unregistered Mule doesn’t connect to a control plane, so |

| Creation process | Product | Description |
|---|---|---|
Design the API specification in Anypoint Platform (optional) | API Designer is the specification tool in Anypoint Design Center. You open it after you sign in to Anypoint Platform, author the RAML or OAS contract, and publish it to Exchange so Anypoint Code Builder or Studio can scaffold a Mule app from that spec. | |
Create the Mule app on your computer | Anypoint Code Builder is the VS Code IDE for API specifications, implementations, and integrations in a Mule app. Install the desktop IDE, then connect it to the same control plane as your organization. See Sign in to Anypoint Platform from the IDE. | |
Create the Mule app from natural language | MuleSoft Vibes is the assistant in Anypoint Code Builder. You describe the outcome in the IDE. It uses your Anypoint Code Builder session to create and configure applications. MuleSoft Vibes is available on US, EU, Canada, and Japan cloud hosts. | |
Create the Mule app on your computer | Anypoint Studio is MuleSoft’s Eclipse-based desktop IDE for designing and testing Mule apps. Add your Anypoint Platform account in Studio so you can import assets from Exchange. See Adding Anypoint Platform User Accounts. |
| Runtime plane | Control Planes | Where to deploy |
|---|---|---|
CloudHub 2.0 |
| Deploying Mule Apps to CloudHub 2.0. For DNS and URL format, see Runtime Plane Regions and DNS Records. |
CloudHub |
| |
Runtime Fabric |
| Deploying Mule Apps to Runtime Fabric. For Canada Cloud, Japan Cloud, India Cloud, and Australia Cloud, contact your account manager to unlock Runtime Fabric. |
Hybrid Standalone |
| Deploying Mule Apps to Hybrid Standalone Instances. Register the Runtime Manager agent with the control plane that holds the organization. A Mule instance that is not registered to Runtime Manager is an on-premises runtime, not a control-plane deploy. See Run Mule Runtime Engine On-Premises. |
| Tool | Deploys to |
|---|---|
Runtime Manager | |
Anypoint Studio | Deploying a Mule Application to CloudHub. To deploy a Studio project to CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric, or Hybrid Standalone, use Runtime Manager. |
