Creating and Managing Compartments

On Private Cloud Appliance, compartments are the primary building blocks for organizing and controlling access to cloud resources. Users can create compartments to separate access to resources in one compartment from access to resources in other compartments.

Compartments contain resources such as cloud instances, virtual cloud networks, and block volumes. Your tenancy is the root compartment where you can create cloud resources and other compartments. You can create hierarchies of compartments that are up to six levels deep. You can limit access to compartment resources to specified user groups. Most resources can be moved between compartments later if your business needs change.
