Problem
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, (netid will be provisioned with superuser access to the resources created in this space)
- click on dept to autofill
- enter COA for billing of paid resources, TryIT does not require a COA
- additonal options will allow you to enter your SSH key. This only needs to be done once, all spaces with Linux resources will use it.
