Plan

A conceptual overview of DuploCloud Plans

DuploCloud Plans

When you create an Infrastructure in DuploCloud, a Plan is automatically generated. A Plan is a placeholder or a template for configurations. These configurations are consistently applied to all Tenants within the Plan (or Infrastructure). Examples of such configurations are:

• Certificates available to be attached to Load Balancers in the Plan's Tenants

• Machine images

• WAF web ACLs

• Common IAM policies and SG rules to be applied to all resources in the Plan's Tenants

• Unique or shared DNS domain names where applications provisioned in the Plan's Tenants can have a unique DNS name in the domain

• Resource Quota that is enforced in each of the Plan's Tenants

• DB Parameter Groups

• Policies and feature flags applied at the Infrastructure level on the Plan's Tenants

The figure below shows a screenshot of the plan constructs:

DuploCloud Plans and DNS Considerations

When creating DuploCloud Plans and DNS names, consider the following to prevent DNS issues:

• Plans in different portals will delete each other's DNS records, so each portal must use a distinct subdomain for its Plans.

• DuploCloud Plans in the same portal can share a DNS domain without deleting each other's records. Duplo-created DNS names will always include the Tenant name, which prevents collisions.

• The recommended practice for most portals is to set all Plans to the same DNS name, including the default Plan.

• Ideally, custom subdomains will be set in the Plans before turning on shell, monitoring, or logging. If the DNS is changed later, those services may need to be updated.
