Service plans for tenants and namespaces

When you create an HCP tenant, you have the option of associating a service plan with it. This plan then applies to each namespace that’s owned by the tenant. Alternatively, you can allow HCP tenant administrators to associate service plans with their individual namespaces. In this case, the tenant administrator can choose from any of the service plans that are defined at the system level (including Default).

When you create the default tenant and namespace, you associate a service plan with the default namespace. The default tenant administrator can choose a different service plan for the default namespace at any time.

You can change the service plan that’s associated with an HCP tenant at any time. However, if you switch to allowing the tenant to associate service plans with individual namespaces, you can no longer associate a service plan with the tenant.

When allowed to choose service plans for individual namespaces, tenant administrators see only the service plan names and descriptions, and not service plan rules. The names and descriptions can indicate the namespace usage patterns and properties with which the service plans are intended to work. Thus, tenant administrators do not need to be aware of the HCP system storage in order to associate service plans with namespaces.
