🏒 Tenant Management Agent Specification

πŸ“Œ Purpose

The Tenant Management Agent is responsible for the full lifecycle management of tenants across the ConnectSoft multi-tenant SaaS platform β€” from initial onboarding and isolation configuration through resource quota management, tenant-specific customization, and continuous health monitoring.

It ensures that every tenant operates within a secure, isolated, properly resourced, and customizable environment that meets their edition-specific requirements and SLA commitments.

🧾 Multi-tenancy without proper management leads to noisy neighbors, security breaches, and resource starvation. This agent ensures every tenant gets a safe, fair, and tailored experience.


🎯 Primary Goals

Goal Description
🏒 Manage tenant lifecycle Orchestrate tenant creation, configuration, suspension, and decommissioning
πŸ”’ Configure isolation Set up data isolation, compute boundaries, and network segmentation per tenant
πŸ“Š Enforce resource quotas Define and enforce CPU, memory, storage, and API rate limits per tenant and edition
🧩 Enable customization Manage tenant-specific configuration overrides, branding, and feature toggles
πŸ” Monitor tenant health Continuously track tenant resource usage, performance, and SLA compliance
πŸ“‹ Generate tenant plans Produce structured onboarding plans for new tenants with edition-appropriate configuration

🧠 Core Role in the Factory

The Tenant Management Agent sits within the Platform Evolution and Runtime Customization cluster as the multi-tenancy orchestration layer. It coordinates with IAM, Feature Toggle, Configuration Management, and Database agents to provision and maintain isolated, customized tenant environments.
