-Create a Tenant
----------------
-
-.. note::
- This section is not really belonging to the "Design" phase,
- but to the preparation of the "Service Deployment" and will be
- moved in the next release
-
-Each service requires a tenant_ (a group of users who share a common access)
-in which resources are stored in the cloud. This process is performed using
-facilities of the network cloud, outside of ONAP. Confirm that the tenant is
-created and note the tenant ID.
-
-ONAP admin users can configure a cloud-owner to add new cloud resources.
-These are the computing and networking resources, that will support
-running VNFs. A cloud-owner holds a keystone URL, login, region and
-password, in the case of an Openstack cluster. A cloud-owner also
-belongs to a region. The region name should be the same as the Openstack
-region. Prior to creation of a cloud-owner, its region must be created
-first. Multiple tenants can share the same cloud-owner. Note that these
-tenants are ONAP tenants, not Openstack tenants. Tenant register
-services that customers are allowed to deploy. Finally, the customer is
-like an instance of the tenant.
-
-Note: there is no GUI (yet) to configure these objects. REST requests
-are sent to AAI to achieve the configuration. For a detailed list of
-required REST commands see:

-https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/running+vFW+Demo+on+ONAP+Amsterdam+Release
-
-The overall process is as follows:
-
- #. Create a region and a cloud-owner. This steps registers Openstack
- credentials. This is the only step requiring entering Openstack specific
- parameters.
-
- #. Create a complex. The complex describes the coverage of the region with
- a street address etc.
-
- #. Create a service. The service name should match the name of the service
- onboarded in SDC.
-
- #. Create a tenant. Tenant in ONAP stores a design for a generic customer.
-
- #. Associate tenants with their allowed services.
-
- #. Create an instance of the tenant or customer. The customer is visible in
- VID. A VID user can deploy allowed services on this new customer.
