What are Projects

Projects are the primary organizational unit in vCluster Platform. Each project is a policy boundary that groups tenant clusters, spaces, and the users or teams who access them.

For AI cloud operators, projects map naturally to customer accounts: each customer gets a project, sees only their resources, and operates within the resource limits you define. For internal platforms, projects map to teams, cost centers, or environments.

Members​

Every project has members: the users and teams authorized to access it. Only members (and global admins) can see or interact with resources inside a project. Each member is assigned a role that defines what they can do within the project.

Allowed clusters​

Each project specifies which connected clusters its members can deploy tenant clusters into. This lets you direct different customers or teams to specific infrastructure — for example, routing GPU workloads to a cluster with GPU nodes, or keeping a customer's resources in a specific region.

Configure allowed clusters →

Templates​

Projects define which templates members can use when creating tenant clusters. Admins can set a default template, restrict members to an approved set, or allow all templates. This ensures tenant clusters created within the project meet your configuration and security requirements.

Quotas​

Projects can define resource quotas that cap total compute and storage consumption across all tenant clusters and spaces in the project. Quotas prevent any single project from consuming disproportionate infrastructure resources.

Secrets​

Projects can store secrets that are shared across resources within the project. These are useful for distributing credentials, tokens, or configuration that multiple tenant clusters need access to.

Integrations​

Projects support integrations with external tools including ArgoCD and Rancher, allowing you to connect tenant cluster lifecycle management with your existing GitOps or platform tooling.
