A space is a logical collection of "resources" like a "folder". You may group resources because of charging restrictions or specific projects. You may create as many spaces as you like.
Why you would organize resources into a single space: Same application or project. Same data risk level (med, high, HIPAA, etc). Same billing, COA. Instances have all port access to other instances in same space.
How do I get started: - Click on create new space from the home page
- Enter name, no spaces or dashes
- Choose data classification; low, moderate, high
- Enter business contact ID, (the person responsible for billing)
- Click on dept to autofill based on business contact
- Enter COA for billing of paid resources, TryIT does not require a COA
- The owner netid (the person logged into Spinup), will be provisioned with superuser access to the resources created in all spaces
- Additional options will allow you to enter the SSH pub key of the owner. This only needs to be done once, all spaces with Linux resources will use it.
- Click create space
Provisioning resources - Click on provision some resources.You will see what resources are available currently for that data risk levelyour newly created space from the homepage
- Click on the create button available inside your space view
- Pick the desired resource from the list of available resources.
Access your resources - From the space page, click on the firewall tab
- Here you will see the inbound firewall rules. The default is set all resources and talk to all other resources in the same space. No access from anywhere else.
- You will need to allow access from your workstation to your resource. Click add in the upper right.
- Select service port, add source IP, click add.
Modification to your space - The settings tab allows you to add COA, change owner, delete space.
- When you change owner, login access to existing servers will not be granted automatically. Meaning the old owner will have to create an account for you in the individual resources.
