Comparison of Single-Tenant and Multitenant Deployments
vRealize Automation supports deployments with either a single tenant or multiple tenants. The
conguration can vary depending on how many tenants are in your deployment.
System-wide conguration is always performed in the default tenant and can apply to one or more tenants.
For example, system-wide conguration might specify defaults for branding and notication providers.
Infrastructure conguration, including the infrastructure sources that are available for provisioning, can be
congured in any tenant and is shared among all tenants. You divide your infrastructure resources, such as
cloud or virtual compute resources, into fabric groups and assign an administrator to manage those
resources as the fabric administrator. Fabric administrators can allocate resources in their fabric group to
business groups by creating reservations.
Single-Tenant Deployment
In a single-tenant deployment, all conguration can occur in the default tenant. Tenant administrators can
manage users and groups, congure tenant-specic branding, notications, business policies, and catalog
oerings.
All users log in to the vRealize Automation console at the same URL, but the features available to them are
determined by their roles.
