CloudRegion node

A CloudRegion represents a geographical region provided by a cloud vendor. A cloud region is created when a new region is discovered in a cloud discovery run. CloudRegion nodes are linked to only one cloud provider.

CloudRegion nodes are under the full control of patterns. For each region discovered, a CloudRegion node is created.

CloudRegion node lifecycle

The following section describes the scenarios in which a CloudRegion node is created or removed automatically.

Creation

A CloudRegion node is created by cloud patterns when a cloud region is discovered in a cloud discovery run.

Removal

A CloudRegion node is not automatically removed.

To remove a CloudRegion node manually, find the necessary cloud region, select it in the list and pick Destroy from the Actions list. 

If you remove a CloudRegion node, then its contained nodes are removed. For more information, see Cascade Removal.
