Creating and Managing a Workspace

The workspace is a whitelist function. If you have trial requirements, submit a service ticket to apply for the permission.

Background

ModelArts allows you to create multiple workspaces to develop algorithms and manage and deploy models for different service objectives. In this way, the development outputs of different applications are allocated to different workspaces for simplified management.

Workspaces can be used to implement logical resource isolation, resource quota management, fine-grained authentication, and resource clearing. Workspaces are presented to enterprise projects as integrated ModelArts resources.

Workspaces support the following access control modes:
  • 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 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.

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 whitelisted the workspace function and configured basic permissions for using ModelArts. For details, see Assigning Basic Permissions for Using ModelArts.

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.

  5. After changing the quota values of the workspace, click Submit. If data in the Quota Value column is refreshed, the quotas have been modified successfully.

Modifying a Workspace

After a workspace is created, you can modify its information.

  1. In the navigation pane of the ModelArts console, choose Workspace.
  2. On the Workspace page, locate the target workspace and click Modify in the Operation column.

    You can modify the name, description, enterprise project, and authorization type of the workspace. For details, see Table 2.

  3. After modifying the parameters, click Modify Now.

Deleting a Workspace

You can delete a workspace that is no longer needed. After a workspace is deleted, all resources in the workspace are deleted by default. The default workspace cannot be deleted.

A deleted workspace cannot be recovered.

  1. In the navigation pane of the ModelArts console, choose Workspace.
  2. On the Workspace page, locate the target workspace and click Delete in the Operation column. In the Delete Workspace dialog box, confirm the workspace information and resources to be deleted, enter DELETE in the text box, and click OK. The workspace status changes to Deleting. After the resources are cleared, the workspace is deleted from the list.
