# Environment classification

> Use environment classifications to label your cloud integrations as Production or Non-production and filter data across Plerion.

With the Environment classification, you can quickly focus on the integrations and risks that matter most by separating your **Production** and **Non-production** environments across Plerion.

***

## How Plerion uses environment classifications

Environment classifications help you organize and filter data across Plerion. Cloud integrations such as **AWS accounts**, **GCP projects**, and **Microsoft Entra tenants** can be assigned to an environment.

If no classification is set, the integration remains unclassified.

You can use environments to:

* Filter the **homepage dashboard**
* Filter **assets**, **findings**, and **vulnerabilities**
* [Build workflows](/guides/platform/workflows) using the **Environment** filter

***

## Setting the environment for your cloud integrations

You can assign environments to your cloud integrations from the dedicated [Environments page](https://au.app.plerion.com/environments).

This page provides a centralized view of all connected cloud integrations and lets you to manage environment classifications in one place.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Environments page">
    Open the [Environments page](https://app.plerion.com/environments) in Plerion.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review your connected cloud integrations">
    The page lists all connected cloud integrations (including **AWS accounts**, **GCP projects**, **Microsoft Entra tenants**, and **Kubernetes clusters**) along with their current environment status.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign an environment">
    Use the dropdown next to each integration to classify it as **Production**, **Non-production**, or **Not set**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and apply environment suggestions (if available)">
    If Plerion has high confidence in an integration’s environment, it will suggest a classification.

    * Click `Apply suggestion` to accept the recommendation
    * Click `Dismiss` to ignore it

    Hover over the tooltip next to the suggested environment to see why the suggestion was made, such as signals from account names or tags.

You can also assign an environment directly from an individual integration’s page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="On the Plerion dashboard, go to Settings > Integrations">

  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the cloud integration you want to classify" />

  <Step title="Choose an environment classification">
    Set the integration to **Production** or **Non-production**.

You can also assign environments from the homepage dashboard when no integrations have been classified.

<Steps>
  <Step title="On the homepage dashboard, open the global filter and selects Environments">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign your environments">
    Select the integrations you want to classify as **Production** or **Non-production**.\
    Plerion will take a moment to apply these classifications. Once complete, the homepage dashboard will refresh automatically and show the updated Environment filter.
