Welcome to Omega Cloud (DRAFT)
You now have a private, isolated environment ("domain") on Omega Cloud. This document explains what we manage, what you manage, and how we work together.
What you received at handoff
- Your domain: a hard isolation boundary. Nothing you create inside it is visible to any other client, and no other client's activity is visible to you.
- Your administrator account (
<yourname>-domain-admin): manages your team's users and projects inside your domain. This account and its scope are described in the Self-Service Guide.
- Two workload accounts (
-cluster and -svc) preconfigured the way the platform requires -- see the Self-Service Guide before changing anything about them.
- A capacity envelope (quota) sized from your intake form.
- Access to shared platform resources: the external network for public connectivity, base operating-system and Kubernetes images, and a set of machine sizes (flavors).
What we manage (and you cannot)
- The cloud infrastructure itself, including the isolation between clients.
- Your domain's existence, your administrator account, and password resets for it (there is deliberately no self-service recovery -- resets require a request from one of your named credential custodians).
- Quotas. Your administrator cannot raise them; an authorized requester asks us instead.
- The shared substrate: external networks, public base images, machine sizes.
What you manage (self-service, no ticket needed)
Everything inside your domain: team user accounts, projects, private networks and routers, firewall rules (security groups), virtual machines, storage volumes, load balancers, Kubernetes clusters, application secrets and certificates, and public IP attachments -- all within your quota.
How to reach us
- Quota changes, password resets, custodian changes: request from an authorized requester (named in your intake form) via your account contact.
- Incidents/outages: your account contact, marked urgent.
- Everything else self-service: see the Self-Service Guide.
House rules (the short version)
- Never share account passwords between people; your administrator creates individual users instead.
- Never ask us to grant "admin" on your accounts -- the platform will refuse, by design. Your
-domain-admin account already has every right you need inside your domain.
- Keep your two named credential custodians current with us.
