NGINX One glossary

This glossary defines terms used in NGINX One and F5 Distributed Cloud.

Namespace

In F5 Distributed Cloud, a namespace groups a tenant’s configuration objects, similar to administrative domains. Every object within a namespace must have a unique name, and each namespace must be unique to its tenant. This setup ensures isolation, preventing cross-reference of objects between namespaces.

Tenant

A tenant in F5 Distributed Cloud is an entity that owns a specific set of configuration and infrastructure. It is a fundamental concept for isolation, meaning a tenant cannot access objects or infrastructure of other tenants. Tenants can be of two types: individual and enterprise, with the latter allowing multiple users with role-based access control (RBAC) roles.
