Projects in xneelo Cloud

In the xneelo Control Panel, you can create multiple Cloud projects. When you log into a project, the Cloud dashboard will launch where you can manage your cloud environment. 

Note: During beta, only one project can be created.

The usage from all your Cloud projects is tracked and billed to your customer account at the end of the billing cycle. 

Read on to learn more about project terminology and limits.


  • What are projects?

    A cloud project is a container for a group of cloud resources that are managed in a single workspace. Projects are used to define boundaries for resource allocation and access control.

    Resource isolation:

    • Projects can be used to organise resources into logical groups, for specific business purposes or systems.
    • Projects keep resources isolated to help create secure cloud environments. 

    Access control:

    • Projects can have one or more users assigned. Only assigned users can access the project. 
    • Permissions can be managed with Collaborator roles.

    Note: During beta, only Account Owners can log in and manage cloud projects. Collaborator access will be added in the future.





  • Project limits (quotas)

    Project limits help us regulate the use of our platform so we can maintain consistent service levels for all Cloud customers. 

    Project limits refer to the amount of cloud resources that are allowed to be provisioned within a project. These set quotas determine the amount of compute, storage and network resources you can create. 

    Limits are set on both the size and number of cloud resources. 

    Project limits are configured by xneelo and are the same for all customers by default. 

    Note: During beta, the limits set on your project cannot be increased. Increasing project limits will be available with the  market release of xneelo Cloud.

    The current project limits are as follows:
