Project-based management

Managing an ALB resource by project

Project management is a resource management approach provided by VolcanoEngine, allowing you to group and manage cloud resources used by different projects. Project advantages:

Projects provide combined and hierarchical management manners for cloud resources. Based on your business needs, you can deploy cloud resources into the specified project when creating them. After authorizing IAM users based on projects, you can manage cloud resources by group.

Resources and permissions are isolated across projects. This provides flexible resource management and access control while maintains resource independence and data security.

You can view resource bills at the project level to facilitate calculating cloud resource costs.

Precautions

Application Load Balancer (ALB) resources that support project management include ALB instances, listeners, server groups, health check templates, Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy groups, customization templates, and certificates.

A resource can belong to only one project.

Associations between resources do not change due to project assignments.

To associate resources from multiple projects, you must have permissions for all projects involved. For example, to associate an elastic IP address (EIP) from Project B with an instance in Project A, you must have permissions for both Project A and Project B. For authorization, see Add project permission.

ALB project management

Common actions in ALB project management:

SN	Feature	Description
1	Create project	Create a project to manage ALB resources.
2	Add project permission for an IAM user	Authorize project permission for IAM users belonging to the root account.
3	Create ALB resource	You can use an IAM account to create ALB resources. This example demonstrates creating an ALB instance.
4	Move ALB resources into or out of a project	You can move ALB resources into or out of a project when the resources' project changes.

Search for ALB resources by project

In the top menu bar, select the region and choose the project based on the description below.

Select All resources to view all resources under the current account.

Select a specific project to view all resources associated with that project.

Click Manage projects to redirect to the project list for project management.

tip

When you log in with a root account or an IAM user, the system defaults to display resources under the default project of that account.

If an IAM user is not granted Global permissions or the system fails to display all resources under the account after All Resources is selected, switch to another project or contact the root account to obtain the required permissions.
