Stars and star systems

As a tenant, you have access to all your star systems (physical star systems) through stars (logical star systems). All your planets are grouped into star systems. Each star system has its own database backups, secrets, and S3 bucket containers. In this way, the resources are separate for each star system.

Note:

Access to stars and star systems is managed by Guidewire Hub. For details, see Access Cloud Platform apps and services.

There are the following differences between stars and star systems:

Stars (logical star systems)	Star systems (physical star systems)
Stars reflect different business units and provide you with the resources necessary for developing the InsuranceSuite applications. For every star, there is a TeamCity project and a Bitbucket project with repositories for products that are covered in your contract with Guidewire.	Star systems keep the data from non-production and production planets separate.
Each star contains up to three star systems (physical star systems).	Each star system contains planets on particular orbits (planet classes).

A tenant has two stars:

• Car Insurance with three star systems, to build applications for car insurance only.
• Property Insurance with three star systems, to build applications for property insurance only.

The two stars are entirely independent entities, with resources that are accessible from each star system separately.

Star system class

A class defines what planets can be created within a star system (physical star system). There are the following classes:

• dev

  A non-production star system for planets on the Dev, QA, and UAT orbit (planet class).

  You can access Build management (TeamCity) and Source code (Bitbucket) only from dev star systems.

• preprod

  A pre-production star system for planets on the Preprod orbit (planet class).

• prod

  A production star system for planets on the Prod orbit (planet class) only.

For details on planet orbits (classes), see Planet orbit (class).

Important:

All the planets within a star system come with the same set of default InsuranceSuite apps that you can't change. For details, see Set of default InsuranceSuite apps.
