Compartment hierarchy

1. root compartment
2. application compartment
3. service compartment

Root compartment

Root compartment is the first layer of compartment. When tenancy is created, a root compartment with the same tenancy name is automatically created. In my case devoncloud01 (root) is the root compartment.

---

Application compartment

Application compartment is the second layer of compartment. It is created to separate each application by its name and for ease of access to services related to a particular application. In my case hub_compartment is the application compartment inside root compartment.

---

Service compartment

Service compartment is the third layer of compartment. It is created to separate different services for an application based on the service type. In my case hub_compute_and_storage_compartment and hub_network_compartment are service compartments inside application compartment.
