Compute concepts

Compute resources include compute nodes, which are housed in compute blocks. Compute nodes can be filtered through compute categories and tags. They can also be grouped into migration zones for use by application instances.

• Compute block and nodes
  A compute block is a enclosure that can house up to four compute nodes. Each node provides compute resources, such as CPU and memory, for use by application instances.
• Compute categories and tags
  Categories and tags are designations applied to compute nodes that allow you to apply constraints or filters on your compute resources.
• Migration zones
  Compute nodes are grouped into migration zones for use by application instances. Essentially, a migration zone provides a way to organize a collection of resources virtually. It consists of a defined set of compute nodes (with any categories and tags) and connectivity to storage (one or more storage pools).
