This section explains how to design tenants, users, server groups, and servers.
Figure 1.1 Tenant/user/server group/server configuration
A tenant is a unit of management for segmenting and isolating the management and operation of resources, based on an organization or business.
Tenants are comprised of the following three resources:
Server
Server group
User (tenant administrator, tenant user)
Servers in a tenant are grouped according to the system operated by the business using the server group. Users belonging to a tenant are managed collectively on the server for each server group. Tenant users can manage servers within the server group to which they belong.
Decide on the configuration of tenants and server groups according to the following:
Points to note when deciding on the configuration of tenants
Zero or more users (tenant users or tenant administrators) can belong to a tenant, but each user (tenant user or tenant administrator) can belong to only one tenant.
Multiple server groups can belong to a tenant, but each server group can belong to only one tenant.
Points to note when deciding on the configuration of server groups
Multiple servers can belong to a server group, but each server can belong to only one server group.
A server group cannot belong to multiple tenants.
Select one user from the tenant administrators or tenant users as the server group owner. A user can own multiple server groups.
