Creating a project

A project is a logical resource organization unit that groups together several Kubernetes namespaces. With a project, you can manage access and quotas at the team or application level.

Getting startedGetting started

Make sure you have the cluster administrator permissions. Only cluster administrators can create projects.

Management console
CLI
  1. In the left-hand menu, select Projects.

  2. In the top-right corner, click + Create.

  3. Under Main parameters, specify the following:

    • Name: Project name. It must be unique within the cluster. This is a required field.
    • displayName: Project name displayed in the UI. This is an optional field.
    • Description: Brief description of the purpose of the project. This is an optional field.
  4. Under Quotas, you can optionally set quotas for the project's resources:

    • Select the resource type from the Resource drop-down list, e.g., limits.cpu, limits.memory, requests.cpu, requests.memory.
    • Set the value in the Value field.
    • To add another quota, click Add.
    • To delete a quota's row, click the recycle bin icon at the end of the row.
  5. Click Create.

Use the Project resource to create a project:

  1. Create a manifest file, e.g., project.yaml:

    apiVersion: stackland.yandex.cloud/v1alpha1
    kind: Project
    metadata:
      name: team-alpha
    spec:
      displayName: "Team Alpha Project"
      description: "Engineering team for Alpha product line"
      quotas:
        requests.cpu: "10"
        requests.memory: "32Gi"
        limits.cpu: "20"
        limits.memory: "64Gi"
        requests.storage: "500Gi"
    

    Where:

    • metadata.name: Project name. It must be unique within the cluster. This is a required field.
    • spec.displayName: Displayed project name. This is an optional field.
    • spec.description: Project description. This is an optional field.
    • spec.quotas: Project resource quotas. This is an optional field. For more information, see Setting project quotas.
  2. Apply the manifest:

    kubectl apply -f project.yaml
    

After you create a project, Stackland will automatically create a service namespace named project-<project_name>. It will contain the project management resources.
