Last updated 28th May 2021
Objective
The subscription details and attributes of your Web PaaS projects can be managed in the OVHcloud Control Panel.
This guide explains how to configure Web PaaS powered by Platform.sh in the OVHcloud Control Panel.
Requirements
- A Web PaaS solution in your OVHcloud account (find the details in this guide)
- Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel
Instructions
Log in to your OVHcloud Control Panel and switch to Web Cloud in the top navigation bar.
Select Web PaaS in the services bar on the left-hand side.
Projects overview
On the Web PaaS home page, a table will list your projects and their attributes.
Each project equals a service subscription. The button New project starts the process of ordering a new project.
You can carry out some actions by clicking on the ... button in each row:
- Access Web PaaS: opens the Management Console of your project.
- View dashboard: opens the dashboard of your project inside the OVHcloud Control Panel.
- Manage my user licences: A project can be upgraded to allow more users on it.
- Change solution: starts the process of changing your subscription.
- Delete project: will cancel the subscription concerned after clicking the link in the confirmation email.
Managing a project
After selecting your project, the General information tab displays the technical details of your plan as well as some subscription information.
You can open the Management Console of your project by clicking on the link Access my Web PaaS project.
Switching to a different plan
Click on Change solution in order to choose a different subscription. The only limitation is that you cannot downgrade to the Start plan.
After choosing the plan and the number of vCPUs, click on Next to proceed. The second step will display the calculation of the pro rata billing and the future price for your plan.
Click on Modify the plan to switch to the new subscription.
Adding or removing vCPUs
Clicking on the link Modify vCPUs allows you to modify the number of assigned vCPUs of the production environment. Your test environments will always have half the number of production vCPUs at their disposal. This will change the subscription accordingly.
Take note of the billing information and click on Modify the plan to confirm the change.
Adding storage
A click on Increase my storage opens a new window in which you can incrementally add more storage space as per the requirements of your project. Bear in mind that storage cannot be decreased again.
Take note of the billing information and click on Confirm to proceed.
Configuring test environments
A click on Add test environments opens a new window in which you can add environments to your project.
Take note of the pricing information and click on Modify the plan to confirm the action.
Managing users
- User licences
Clicking on the link Manage my user licences allows you to modify the number of additional user licences for the project. The total number of possible licences is determined by the current subscription.
Take note of the pricing information and click on Confirm to proceed.
- Users
Switch to the tab Users. The table displays the users attached to this project. If licences are available, you can invite a new user by clicking on Invite a user.
Enter a customer ID (NIC handle) and click on Add user. An invitation will be sent to the email address attached to this OVHcloud account.
The number of users you can add is limited by the available user licences.
