How to Create Public Cloud Projects and Add Users [New]

Projects help you organize resources, users, and access permissions within your Public Cloud environment, which is why you will automatically have a Default Project created for your account.

How to Create a New Project

You can create up to 3 projects per account, including the default project that is created automatically:

1. Open the Project dropdown in the top navigation.
2. Click New Project.
   • You will be redirected to the Project Settings page.

3. Enter:
   • Project Name: A unique name for your project.
   • Description: Optional information describing the purpose of the project.
4. Click Create Project.

How to Manage Projects

The Project Settings page allows you to manage all project-related resources and permissions. Within a project, you can view and manage project quotas, SSH keys and users.

How to Manage Project Quotas

Project quotas define the resources available to the project, such as:

• vCPUs
• RAM
• Volumes

These quotas determine how many resources can be created within the project. Each project comes with the following default resource quotas:

Resource	Default Quota
vCPU Cores	64
RAM	131,072 MB (128 GB)
Volume Storage	512 GB

These quotas define the maximum amount of compute, memory, and storage resources that can be allocated within a project. If you require additional resources, you can request a quota increase through our support, by opening a ticket from the Customer Portal.

To increase your quotas, go to Settings, select the project for which you want to increase the quotas, and click Increase Quotas.

A new pop-up will appear, where you can specify the quota limits you would like to set for your project.

After your request has been reviewed, you will receive a confirmation in the ticket.

How to Manage SSH Keys

SSH keys can be managed at the project level and are used to securely access instances created within that project.

From the SSH Keys section, you can:

• View existing SSH keys
• Add new SSH keys
• Remove unused SSH keys

How to Manage Project Users

Users determine who can access and manage resources within a project.

To use the OpenStack API, you must first create a user account. Each user has their own credentials for authenticating with the API and managing resources.

You can create multiple users to collaborate within the same project.

From the Users section, you can:

• View project members
• Add users to the project
• Remove users from the project

Example Project Use Cases

You may choose to separate workloads into different projects, for example:

Project	Purpose
Production	Customer-facing workloads
Development	Testing and development environments
Internal Tools	Monitoring, automation, and internal services

Using separate projects helps keep resources organized while providing clear visibility into quotas, users, and access management.
