The Cloud vs Non-cloud resources chart in CMDB Workspace determines which CIs and application services are stored on a cloud and which aren't in the organization. In addition to base system classifications, you can add cloud versus non-cloud classifications that reflect specific datacenter deployments in the organization.

About this task

The Datacenter Types [sn_cmdb_ws_datacenter_type] table stores datacenter classes with a classification of being used as a cloud storage or not in the organization. The calculations for the Cloud vs Non-cloud resources chart in the CI overview tile in CMDB Workspace, reflects on the datacenters in that table and their classifications.

CIs are counted as non-cloud mainly if either of the following conditions is met:
  • The CI is not associated with any datacenter.
  • The CI is associated with a datacenter that is classified as non-cloud in the Datacenter Types table.

In the base system, the Datacenter Types table contains several common datacenters. For example, the Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter) class is classified as 'Cloud'. Therefore, the Cloud vs Non-cloud resources chart includes in its calculations and bars the Azure Datacenter [cmdb_ci_azure_datacenter) class.
