Managing locations and storages

Locations are the groups, registered on the platform, which incorporate infrastructure components.

Storage is represented as an infrastructure component, such as Acronis-hosted cloud storage or partner-hosted storage, which can be registered on the platform, and offered in the form of an offering item.

Location operations are located under the /locations endpoint of the API.

Storage operations are located under the /infras endpoint of the API.

The API represents locations and storages as JSON objects. To find out more about the object structures, see Location object structure and Storage object structure.

Warning

Before proceeding, consider the following when operating with locations and storages:

• When disabling a service, the service will become unavailable within the manipulated tenant and its sub-tenants, and all data related to this service will be deleted.

• When forcing the deletion of a storage, all data related to this storage will be deleted.

• All listed operations are irreversible.
