## Overview

Environments live within [Stacks](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/architecture/stacks.md) and provide logical isolation of resources. Environments on the same Stack share networks and underlying hosts.

[User Permissions](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/security-compliance/access-permissions.md), [Activity Reports](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/architecture/operations.md#activity-reports), and [Database Backup Retention Policies](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/managed-databases/managing-databases/database-backups.md) are also managed on the Environment level.

> [!TIP]
>
> You may want to consider having your production Environments in separate Stacks from staging, testing, and development Environments to ensure network-level isolation.
