Projects

Projects are used to group and isolate OpenStack resources, including compute, storage, and network resources. A project can be a department or a project team. Resources in your account must be managed under projects. As a security administrator, you can access IAM, and create projects in a region to manage resources.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, choose Projects.
  2. On the Projects page, click Create Project.
  3. On the Create Project page, select a region from the Region drop-down list.
  4. Set Project Name.

    • The project name format is Region Name_Project Name. Region Name cannot be modified.
    • The project name can only contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). The length of Region Name_Project Name cannot exceed 64 characters.

  5. (Optional) Enter a description for the project.
  6. Click OK.

    The project list is displayed, and the newly created project is in the Normal state.
