Self-service

Self-service lets a provider offer virtual machines to customers. A customer is a tenant with a quota, and a tenant orders servers from the plans and catalogue images that the provider has set up. A portal can drive the same functions through the API.

Self-service concepts explains the objects. Providers continue with Tenants and Plans and catalogue, tenants with Servers, and developers of a portal with Portal integration.
