First Steps in the Dashboard
After logging in, the dashboard shows a high-level overview of your projects and resources.
Select or Create a Tenant/Project
PaaS Cloud is multi-tenant. Most resources belong to a tenant (also called a project). Make sure you are working inside the correct one.
- If you already have a tenant assigned, select it from the top menu.
- If you need a new tenant and have the required permissions, use the tenant creation flow.
Explore the Application Marketplace
- Navigate to the Marketplace / Catalog.
- Browse available services: databases, registries, messaging, virtual machines, monitoring, and more.
- Click an application to see available configuration options before deployment.
Check Your Resource Quota
- Open your tenant’s Quota or Resources page.
- Review limits for CPU, memory, and storage.
- Contact the cloud team if your project needs more resources.
Deploy Your First Application
Typical first deployments:
- A managed database (e.g., PostgreSQL or Redis) for your application.
- A Virtual Machine if you need a traditional compute instance.
- A Load Balancer or Ingress to expose services externally.
Refer to the How-to Guides section for step-by-step guides.
