OCI Tenancy

The root container in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that holds all of an organization's cloud resources, created at sign-up.

Definition

A tenancy is created with a home region where IAM resources are defined, and it can subscribe to additional regions. The tenancy is itself the root compartment; administrators create child compartments, identity domains, groups and policies within it.

Example

When Acme signs up for OCI, it receives the tenancy acme with Frankfurt as its home region.

Exam tip

IAM changes are made in the home region and replicated to other subscribed regions.
