Creating and Managing a Workspace

ModelArts workspaces enable enterprise customers to split their resources into multiple spaces that are logically isolated and to manage access to different spaces. After workspace is enabled, a default workspace is created. All resources you have created are in this workspace. You can create multiple workspaces. Each acts as a separate ModelArts instance. Workspaces do not interfere with each other, making management easier.

Workspaces support the following access control modes:
  • PUBLIC: publicly accessible to tenants (including both the tenant account and all its IAM accounts)
  • PRIVATE: accessible only to the creator and the tenant account
  • INTERNAL: accessible to the creator, the tenant account, and specified IAM users. When the authorization type is set to INTERNAL, specify one or more accessible IAM users.

A default workspace is allocated to each IAM project of each account. The access control of the default workspace is PUBLIC.

Scenario

Workspace access control allows the access of only certain users. This function can be used in the following scenarios:
  • Education: A teacher allocates an INTERNAL workspace to each student and allows the workspace to be accessed only by specified students. In this way, students can separately perform experiments on ModelArts.
  • Enterprises: An administrator creates a workspace for production tasks and allows only O&M personnel to use the workspace, and creates a workspace for routine debugging and allows only developers to use the workspace. In this way, different enterprise roles can use resources only in a specified workspace.

Prerequisites

You have configured the basic permissions for using ModelArts. For details, see Configuring Agency Authorization for ModelArts with One Click.

Choosing a Workspace

  1. Log in to the ModelArts console.
  2. Switch the workspace in the upper left corner of the console.
    • The system creates a default workspace, binds the default enterprise project, and sets the authorization type to PUBLIC.
    • If the workspace does not meet service needs, you can Creating a Workspace or Modifying a Workspace.
    Figure 1 Switching the workspace

Creating a Workspace

  1. Log in to the ModelArts console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workspace.
  3. Click Create workspace.
    Table 1 Creating a workspace

    Parameter

    Description

    Workspace name

    Enter the name of the workspace. This parameter is mandatory.

    The value can contain 4 to 64 visible characters, including letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

    Description

    Enter the description of the workspace, with a maximum of 256 characters.

    Enterprise Project

    Select an enterprise project. This parameter is mandatory. If no enterprise project is available, click Create Enterprise Project to go to the Enterprise Project Management page, create an enterprise project, and bind it to the workspace.

    Enterprise projects provide a cloud resource management mode, in which cloud resources and members are centrally managed by project.

    Authorization Type

    Select the access control mode for the workspace.

    • PUBLIC: publicly accessible to tenants (including both the tenant account and all its sub-accounts)
    • PRIVATE: accessible only to the creator and the tenant account
    • INTERNAL: accessible to the creator, the tenant account, and specified sub-users When Authorization Type is set to INTERNAL, you need to set Authorized User and Authorized To to specify the sub-users who can access the workspace.

      When Authorized User is set to IAM user, select one or more IAM users in Authorized To.

      If Authorized User is set to Federated user, enter one or more usernames or IDs of federated users in Authorized To.

      When Authorized User is set to Agency, select one or more agencies in Authorized To.
  4. After setting the workspace parameters, click Create Now.

Managing Workspace Quotas

After a workspace is created, you can view and modify the quota information.

  1. In the navigation pane of the ModelArts console, choose Workspace.
  2. On the Workspace page, locate the target workspace, and click Quota Management in the Operation column to go to the workspace details page.
  3. In the Quota Info area, view the quota value, used quota, and last modification time.
  4. Click Modify Quota on the right of Quota Info to change the quota value. For details about the configurations, see Table 2.

Deleting a Workspace

You can delete a workspace that is no longer needed. Before deleting a workspace, delete the resource pools and networks created in the workspace.

Deleting a workspace will delete all resources in the workspace, including created notebooks, training jobs, and deployed services. The deleted resources cannot be restored.

  1. In the navigation pane of the ModelArts console, choose Workspace.
  2. In the workspace list, click Delete in the Operation column. In the displayed dialog box, confirm the information about the workspace you want to delete.

    If there are resource pools and networks that have not been deleted in the workspace, delete them first.

    Confirm the information, enter DELETE, and click OK. The workspace status changes to Deleting. After the resources are cleared, the workspace is deleted from the list.
