Concepts

  • Account

    An account is created upon successful registration with Huawei Cloud. The account has full access permissions for all of its cloud services and resources. It can be used to reset user passwords and grant user permissions. The account is a payment entity and should not be used directly to perform routine management. For security purposes, create IAM users and grant them permissions for routine management.

  • User

    An identity and access management (IAM) user is created by an account to use cloud services. Each IAM user has its own identity credentials (password and access keys).

    An IAM user can view the account ID and user ID on the My Credentials page of the console. The domain name, username, and password will be required for API authentication.

  • Region

    Regions are divided by geographical location and network latency. Public services, such as Elastic Cloud Server (ECS), Elastic Volume Service (EVS), Object Storage Service (OBS), Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Elastic IP (EIP), and Image Management Service (IMS), are shared within the same region.

    Regions are classified into universal regions and dedicated regions.

    • A universal region provides universal cloud services for common tenants.
    • A dedicated region provides particular services for specific tenants.

    For details, see Region and AZ.

  • Availability Zone (AZ)

    An AZ contains one or more physical data centers. Each AZ has independent cooling, fire extinguishing, moisture-proof, and electricity facilities. Within an AZ, computing, networking, storage, and other resources are logically divided into multiple clusters. AZs within a region are interconnected using high-speed optical fibers to allow you to build cross-AZ high-availability (HA) systems.

  • Project

    Projects group and isolate resources (including compute, storage, and network resources) across physical regions. A default project is provided for each region, and subprojects can be created under each default project. Users can be granted permissions to access all resources in a specific project.

    For more refined access control, create subprojects under a project and purchase resources in the subprojects. Users can then be assigned permissions to access only specific resources in the subprojects.

  • Enterprise project

    An enterprise project groups and manages enterprise resources in a logically isolated manner. It contains resources in multiple regions, and allows resources to be added or removed.

    For details about how to obtain enterprise project IDs and features, see the Enterprise Management User Guide.
