Projects in xneelo Cloud
In the xneelo Control Panel, you can create Cloud projects. When you log into a project, the Cloud dashboard will launch where you can manage your cloud environment.
Note: Currently, only one project can be created in xneelo Cloud.
The usage from 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.
Note: Currently, only Account Owners can log in and manage cloud projects. Collaborator access will be added in the future.

Project limits
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 use.
Limits are set on both the size and number of cloud resources.
The current project limits are as follows:

Project limit increase
Project limits are configured by xneelo and are the same for all customers by default. This helps us regulate the use of our platform so we can maintain consistent service levels.
However, you may need additional resources to support your increasing workloads. In this scenario, you can request a project limit increase.
Your request will be reviewed by our support team, and is subject to approval. If approved, your project limit increase should be actioned within 1 business day.
