Domain Administration Overview

The goal of domain management is to create and manage domains for one specific tenant. Use multiple domains for multiple tenants sharing the same Unwired Server cluster.

Multiple domains in a cluster allow tenants' administrators (that is, domain administrators) to each manage their own application components. Domain administration for the platform administrator is typically an infrequent administration task that occurs each time a new domain needs to be added to support a change in the tenancy strategy used or need to make changes to an existing domain.

Domains give you the means to logically partitioning environments, thereby providing increased flexibility and granularity of control over domain-specific applications. Administration of multiple customer domains takes place within the same Unwired Platform cluster.
In a development environment, domains allow developers from different teams to share a single Unwired Server cluster without disrupting application deployment. Administrators can facilitate this by:
  1. Creating a domain for each developer or developer group.
  2. Granting domain administration privileges to those users so they can perform deployment tasks within their assigned domains.
