Tenant isolation architecture
Main components of OpenPages as a Service

  • A service instance of IBM OpenPages uses a dedicated RDMS service instance and dedicated S3 bucket document storage at the data layer.
  • Application pods on the Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster are allocated in a dedicated fashion for IBM OpenPages service instances.
  • The IBM OpenPages service assigns a dedicated URL for each service instance for accessing the application by using the web UI, API, or CLI. The network edge nodes and load balancers are shared across tenants and the requests are dispatched to the application per the service instance URL.

The IBM OpenPages service assigns a dedicated URL, dedicated application pods, a dedicated RDMS service, and dedicated S3 bucket document storage for each instance. The tenant workload is isolated all the way from the network layer, to the application layer, to the data layer.
