`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
[`VBRCloudTenantResource`](vbrcloudtenantresource.md)

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Creating Object with Tenant Quota

This example shows how to create an object containing backup resources with the following settings:

- The cloud repository is named `Standard Tier Repository`.
- The tenant quota is set to `10` GB.

```
$repo1 = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Backups Vol2"
$standard1 = New-VBRCloudTenantResource -Repository $repo1 -RepositoryFriendlyName "Standard Tier Repository" -Quota 10
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackupRepository`](get-vbrbackuprepository.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repo1` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRCloudTenantResource` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$repo1` variable as the `Repository` parameter value.
   - Specify the `RepositoryFriendlyName` parameter value.
   - Specify the `Quota` parameter value.
   - Save the result to the `$standard1` variable to be used with other cmdlets.

::: example
### Example 2. Creating Object with Tenant Quota and WAN Acceleration

This example shows how to create an object containing backup resources with the following settings:

- The cloud repository is named `Golden Tier Repository`.
- The tenant quota is set to `100` GB.
- The WAN acceleration is allowed.

```
$repo2 = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Backups Vol2"
$wan = Get-VBRWANAccelerator -Name "WAN 1"
$golden2 = New-VBRCloudTenantResource -Repository $repo2 -RepositoryFriendlyName "Golden Tier Repository" -Quota 100 -EnableWanAccelerator -WanAccelerator $wan
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackupRepository`](get-vbrbackuprepository.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repo2` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRWANAccelerator`](get-vbrwanaccelerator.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$wan` variable.
3. Run the `New-VBRCloudTenantResource` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$repo2` variable as the `Repository` parameter value.
   - Specify the `RepositoryFriendlyName` parameter value.
   - Specify the `Quota` parameter value.
   - Provide the `EnableWanAccelerator` parameter.
   - Set the `$wan` variable as the `WanAccelerator` parameter value.
   - Save the result to the `$golden2` variable to be used with other cmdlets.
