Now that the exist and a Kubernetes GKE Cluster has been enabled, create one or more Tenants that use the configuration DuploCloud created.
in DuploCloud are similar to projects or workspaces and have a subordinate relationship to the Infrastructure. Think of the Infrastructure as a virtual "house" (cloud), with Tenants conceptually "residing" in the Infrastructure performing specific workloads that you define. As Infrastructure is an abstraction of a Virtual Private Cloud, Tenants abstract the segregation created by a , although Kubernetes Namespaces are only one component that Tenants can contain.
Estimated time to complete Step 2: 10 minutes.
DuploCloud customers often create at least two Tenants for their production and non-production cloud environments (Infrastructures).
For example:
Production Infrastructure
Pre-production Tenant - for preparing or reviewing production code
Production Tenant - for deploying tested code
Non-production Infrastructure
Development Tenant - for writing and reviewing code
Quality Assurance Tenant - for automated testing
In larger organizations, some customers create Tenants based on application environments, such as creating one Tenant for Data Science applications and another Tenant for web applications, and so on.
Tenants are sometimes created to isolate a single customer workload, allowing more granular performance monitoring, scaling flexibility, or tighter security. This is referred to as a single-Tenant setup.
Before creating a Tenant, verify that you accomplished the tasks in the previous tutorial steps. Using the DuploCloud Portal, confirm that:
Create a Tenant for your Infrastructure and Plan:
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator -> Tenants.
Click Add. The Create a Tenant pane displays.
Enter a unique name for your Tenant in the Name field. Choose unique names that are not substrings of one another, for example, if you have a Tenant named dev, you cannot create another named dev2. We recommend using distinct numerical suffixes like dev01 and dev02.
Select the Plan that you created in the previous step.
Click Create.
From the DuploCloud portal, navigate to Administrator -> Tenants, and verify that a Tenant exists with the name and Plan you created.
An exist, both with the name you created.
The Infrastructure has .
