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.

  2. On the Projects page, click Create Project.

  3. On the Create Project page, select a region from the Region drop-down list.
