Understand projects
A project is a fundamental container for your cloud resources. It defines the scope for ownership, resource consumption, and access control. A project is associated with a customer account and has its own lifecycle, type, and quota settings. It also inherits labels or classifications from its parent organization.
Project states
Section titled “Project states”A project moves through different states during its lifecycle. You can manage your project based on its current state.
| State | Description | Typical Allowed Actions |
|---|---|---|
| CREATING | Project provisioning in progress | View status |
| ACTIVE | Fully operational | Manage / create / delete resources |
| DELETING | Decommission in progress | Monitor deletion |
| ERROR | Provisioning or runtime issue encountered | Investigate / retry / delete |
Project types
Section titled “Project types”Projects come in different types based on their network connectivity and purpose.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Public | Connected to a publicly reachable network segment. |
| Network Area | (If enabled) Additional project flavor for network isolation / orchestration. |
More to STACKIT Network Area projects can be found in the Network Area documentation.
Project quotas
Section titled “Project quotas”Quotas define the resource consumption limits for each project. These limits apply to IaaS and Cloud Foundry resources and do not currently cover all resources within a project. To learn more about quotas, please read the relevant IaaS documentation.
To see your project quotas, navigate to a project and select Information > Quotas in the side navigation bar.
