Projects page

To see information about created Projects in the Organization or create more Projects in it, go to the Organizations page and click on the Name of the appropriate Organization:

This action will open additional sections on the side-bar menu and redirect you to the Projects page, where you can find all created Projects, related to the selected Organization with the Create button, Search bar and Actions icon, which opens a list of available management actions for the selected Project:

• Edit - by selecting this option, you can change the Project name;
• Delete - this option is for Project removing.

Additionally, from this page, you can navigate to the overview page of each created Project by clicking on its name. There, you will find resource utilization graphs, quota details, and billing information for essential resources such as virtual machines, volumes, databases, and object storage. More information about the Project overview page will be provided in the following sections.

Create Project

To create a new Project, do the following:

• go to the Projects page and click on the CREATE PROJECT icon in the upper left corner;
• fill in the form on the next opened Create Project window and click on the CREATE icon:
  • Name: set a name for the Project;
  • Region: specify, which region this Project will belong to. All other cloud resources, that will be created in this Project, will belong to this region too.

After these steps, the newly created Project will be added to the Projects page and you can navigate to the Project overview page by clicking on its name:

Project Overview Page

To open the Project overview page, click on the Name of the appropriate Project on the Projects page:

This action will redirect you to the Project overview page, where you can find:

• project details area with actual information about it (id, region):
  

• resource utilization graphs with its quota details:
  

• project billing information for essential resources such as virtual machines, volumes, databases, and object storage. Access to this section is granted only to Administrators or Owners (project members cannot view billing information):
  

Set Budget Threshold

In Cloud Console you can configure a monthly budget tracker for your Project to monitor and control cloud resource consumption. Once the budget reaches 80% of the set limit, the subscribed Administrators of your Organization will receive daily email notifications informing them that the budget is nearly exhausted.

To set a budget limit, follow these steps:

• navigate to the billing information section on the Project overview page and click the Set Budget Threshold button:
  
• fill in the form on the next opened Set Budget Threshold window and click on the SET button:
  • Budget limit amount: enter the monthly budget limit amount, which will trigger daily alerts once 80% of the limit is reached;
  • Subscribers: select who will receive budget alerts from the list of Organization Administrators and the Owner — these users will be notified when the budget threshold is reached.
    

Once the budget limit is set, a Budget Tracker will be displayed on the page, allowing Administrators to monitor the project’s monthly consumption in real time.
