New Features
ZCenter
Organization and Cloud Operations Center features require the corresponding license authorization. Available features and data scopes depend on the current user's roles and organization permissions.
- Organization Hierarchy and Role-Based Permissions
New organization hierarchy and membership management capabilities distinguish platform administrators, organization administrators, and organization users. A user can have different roles in different organizations and manage or use resources within the authorized scope. Operations performed in an organization view retain audit information about the actual operator, distinguishing business ownership from the person performing the operation.
- Organization Resource Provisioning and Quotas
Resource pools define the compute, storage, and network resources available to organizations. Organization quotas control resource usage allowances and the quotas that can be allocated to subordinate organizations. Resource pools can be directly associated with top-level organizations. Subordinate organizations inherit access to the resource pools of their top-level organization, helping define resource boundaries for departments or projects on shared infrastructure.
- Service Catalogs and Resource Requests
Administrators can preconfigure VMs and publish service catalogs to organizations. Organization users can request resources from catalogs, specify quantities and lease periods, and track application, approval, and delivery status through a standardized resource delivery entry point. Requests requiring approval follow the configured rules. Resource creation still depends on permissions, quotas, and resource availability.
- View Resources and Costs by Ownership
Resources and bills can be viewed across the platform, within the managed organization scope, or for the current user. Associating resource usage with costs helps platform administrators reconcile costs centrally, organizations account for departmental costs, and users check the costs of their own resources.
