Once you activate users and allocate resources to spaces, team members can create and manage projects in a self-service manner on the dashboard.

​
Workspace Structure Overview

A space is a workspace unit where resources are allocated, and space owners can invite team members to distribute allocated resources across multiple projects. Please refer below for the concepts of each unit that makes up a space.

​
View Space Details

  • Space Name: The @space name linked to the dashboard and the unique ID of the space.
  • Members: Space owner and team members.
  • Profile: The name of the resource set allocated to the space.
  • Resources: Allocated to on-demand and spot VMs, along with usage.
  • Creation Date: The timestamp when the space was created.
  • Last Updated: The timestamp the space was last updated.

​
Allocate Resources

On the Spaces page in the operations system, click the Resources section or the icon on the right to manage resources. You can allocate resources to a space in two ways:

  • Apply a pre-configured resource profile

  • Manually allocate resources

​
Use a Pre-configured Profile

Select a resource profile with pre-configured resource sets to allocate to the space and click Apply at the bottom to apply all resources in the profile at once.

Resource profiles streamline the resource allocation process by pre-configuring not only CPU and memory but also various other settings. This enables more efficient and consistent resource management. Please refer below for resource profile configuration.

​
Manually Allocate Resources

Set the individual resource values for worker nodes composed of on-demand or spot VMs. You can set it up to use only one type of VM or a mix of both. If no value is entered, the placeholder value will be applied. The key fields are as follows:

  • CPU / Memory / Disk: The total resources allocated to a space.

  • Max vCPU / Memory / Disk: Resource limits per individual service.

  • Service: Maximum total number of service instances.

  • Max Replicas: Maximum number of replicas per service.

For more details about on-demand and spot VMs, refer to the section below.

cloudtype supports resource allocation based on VM types for efficient resource management. VM types are divided into on-demand and spot, and their characteristics are as follows:

  • On-Demand
    • Guaranteed high availability, uninterrupted resources.
    • Fixed pricing.
    • Suitable for services that require continuous availability.
  • Spot
    • Variable availability depending on CSP idle resources, with possible resource reclamation.
    • Variable pricing (high discounts), cost-effective.
    • Suitable for flexible services.

Even if the cluster’s worker nodes are composed solely of on-demand VMs or if spot VMs are insufficient, you can still allocate spot VM resources to spaces. In this case, only the spot VM labeling will be applied, and the resources will actually operate as on-demand VMs.

The spot resource bulk stop feature allows you to manually stop all services deployed with spot resources at once. By using the feature, you can manage cloud costs more effectively.

The availability management and pricing policies for on-demand and spot VMs vary by CSP. Refer to the following links to choose the appropriate resource type:

Below the resource setting fields, you can set general configuration values.

  • Domain: Number of allowed custom domains (0 to disable)
  • Max Services: Maximum number of deployable services (on-demand and spot)
  • Max Projects: Maximum number of projects
  • Services per Env: Maximum services per Environment
  • Max Members: Maximum team members allowed
  • Other Settings: If the placeholder value is 0, it will be applied as unlimited.

​
Bulk Stop Spot Resources

Click the icon on the right of the space and select Remove Spot Resources to stop all services with spot resources in the space.

By deploying services for testing or temporary use with spot resources, you can manage your cloud infrastructure cost-effectively with this feature.

Click the Sync selector in the top-right corner and choose Remove Spot Resources to stop all services using spot resources across all spaces in the cluster.
