What is a "space"?
Solution
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 level.
Access to 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.
- You will need to allow access from your workstation to your resource. Click add in the upper right.
