Tenants & Region

Tenant

Tenants (also called Projects in API) represent the base unit of ownership in Private Cloud Director, in that all resources in Private Cloud Director are owned by a specific tenant. A tenant itself must be owned by a specific domain, and hence all tenant names are not globally unique, but unique to their domain. If the domain for a tenant is not specified during creation, then it is added to the default domain.

Region

A region generally represents a physical location, such as a data center, where your compute resources are physically located.

Regions are deployed during your Platform9 onboarding and initial setup. To add more Regions to your cloud, connect with your Platform9 Solutions Engineer or Support contact.

Infra Region

When you create a multi-region deployment of Private Cloud Director, an internal or systems region named Infra is provisioned behind the scenes and used to host the Private Cloud Director identity service (Keystone). This region will not be visible or accessible when using Private Cloud Director UI. However, you will see this region in a multi-region deployment when using OpenStack CLI.

When you are deploying a self-hosted installation of Private Cloud Director, the internal Infra region is always required.
