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

Logical and physical star system

There are two types of star systems:

• Logical

  Logical star systems reflect different lines of business and provide you with the resources necessary for developing the InsuranceSuite applications. For every logical star system, there is an individual TeamCity project and a Bitbucket project with repositories for products that are covered in your contract with Guidewire.

  Each logical star system contains up to three physical star systems.

• Physical

  Physical star systems keep the data from non-production and production planets separate.

Example

A tenant has two logical star systems:

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

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

Physical star system class

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

• dev

  A non-production star system for planets of Dev, QA, and UAT class.

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

• preprod

  A pre-production star system for planets of Preprod class.

• prod

  A production star system for planets of Prod class only.

For details on planet classes, see Planet 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.
