Working with Partitions
A partition depicts the division in an IaaS and defines an area of an IaaS cloud used by a service subscription. A partition can be made at one of the following levels: Provider level, Region level, Zone level or Rack level. A partition should at least have a provider defined. If required, partition groups can be defined in the partition definition. DevOps, for the purpose of high availability, can define multiple partitions in order to instruct Apache Stratos to spawn instances in multiple areas (e.g., region, zone or rack). For example, if you spawn instances in multiple availability zones in EC2, your system will be still functional even if one availability zone is down. The following sub-sections describe how to work with partitions via the CLI, UI and REST API:
