The following is the schema for a valid candidate: candidate_id uniquely identifies a candidate. Currently, it is either a Service Instance ID or Cloud Region ID. candidate_type identifies the type of the candidate. Currently, it is either cloud or service. inventory_type is defined as described in *Inventory Provider Criteria inventory_provider identifies the inventory from which the candidate was drawn. host_id is an ID of a specific host (used only when referring to service/existing inventory). cost is expressed as a unitless number. location_id is always a location ID of the specified location type (e.g., for a type of cloud this will be an Cloud Region ID). location_type is an inventory provider supported location type. latitude is a valid latitude corresponding to the locationid. longitude is a valid longitude corresponding to the *locationid. city (Optional) city corresponding to the location_id. state (Optional) state corresponding to the locationid. country (Optional) country corresponding to the *locationid. region (Optional) geographic region corresponding to the location_id. complex_name (Optional) Name of the complex corresponding to the locationid. ``cloudowner(Optional) refers to the *cloud owner* (e.g.,azure,aws,att, etc.). *cloudregionversion(Optional) is an inventory provider supported version of the cloud region. *physicallocationid`` (Optional) is an inventory provider supported CLLI code corresponding to the cloud region.
