Domain Management

With Cloudonix, managing multiple service domains (or accounts) is easy and simple. Unlike other platforms, Cloudonix uses a domain naming convention, similar to the way Internet domains naming (FQDN) works. In fact, for ease of use, we recommend using Internet valid FQDNs as your domains.

What is a Cloudonix domain?

In Cloudonix, a domain represents a walled-garden environment, where various resources interact. These resources can be users (admin users), subscribers (remote devices), applications (voice applications) and more. For simplicity, in Cloudonix we refer to all of these as Models or Objects. Each with its own set of properties and functionality.

Why multiple domains?

Unlike other CPaaS platforms, Cloudonix is designed to enable developers to build multi-tenant services, while keeping the highest level of security and seperation possible. As previously indicated, a domain is a walled-garden, which means, resources (Models/Objects) from one domain, can't interact or affect another domain. These unique approach enables developers to build sub-accounts or sub-brands, under their existing account - while providing other people access to a specific domain.

The Domains View

Once you've finished creating your Cloudonix account, and you're logged on to the cockpit, your screen should look like the following:

Click the Domains menu option, to access the domains management view. The screen will change, displaying a list of available domains. Assuming this is your first domain, the list should look like this:
