What is a "space"?

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:

1. Click on create new space from the home page
2. Enter name, no spaces or dashes
3. Choose data classification; low, moderate, high
4. Enter business contact ID, (the person responsible for billing)
5. Click on dept to autofill based on business contact
6. Enter COA for billing of paid resources, TryIT does not require a COA
7. The owner netid (the person logged into Spinup), will be provisioned with superuser access to the resources created in all spaces
8. 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.
9. Click create space

Provisioning resources

1. Click on provision some resources.
2. You will see what resources are available currently for that data risk level.

Access your resources

1. From the space page, click on the firewall tab
2. 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.
3. You will need to allow access from your workstation to your resource. Click add in the upper right.
4. Select service port, add source IP, click add.

Modification to your space

1. The settings tab allows you to add COA, change owner, delete space.
2. 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.
