meshTenant
meshTenants are the representation of a meshProject in a meshPlatform. meshTenants are isolated cloud environments protected by multi-tenant mechanisms of the cloud platform such as AWS Accounts, Azure Subscriptions or Cloud Foundry Spaces.
meshCustomers don't manually create or manage meshTenants. Instead, meshTenants are always automatically managed through a meshProject.
Some operational limitations around tenants are described here.
Replication and Reconciliation
meshStack combines the meshProject configuration (managed in self-service by the meshCustomer admins), the Landing Zone and meshPlatform configuration (managed by the operator) to compute a desired state for each meshTenant. For private cloud platforms this may include applying certain quotas to your meshTenant.
meshStack continuously reconciles the actual state of meshTenants with their desired state. This process is called replication and ensures that all cloud tenants governed by meshStack are in a known and expected state.
Metadata Tags
meshStack automatically derives metadata tags for meshTenants based on the metadata tags set on the meshProject, the payment method configured on the meshProject and the meshCustomer it belongs to.
Any update to tenant metadata (e.g. a change in payment method) triggers a new meshTenant reconciliation cycle.
