Account

Your account is two things at once: a login on this site, and a tenancy in the cloud. Signing up creates the first; onboarding creates the second.

Account resources

User guide Signing up, what onboarding actually creates, the two passwords you end up with, where to find your quota and your bill, and what one account can and cannot be divided into.

Developer guide Driving the account API from code: getting and refreshing a session token, calling onboarding idempotently, minting access keys, reading usage, and the error shapes.

API reference All fourteen endpoints in detail — catalog, prices, comparison, onboarding, access keys, console sessions, usage, machine consoles, cards and the billing portal.

Credentials and limits

Access keys The key pair the compute API signs with, how to rotate one, and the one way it does not behave like AWS.

Usage and cost What you are running and what the month has cost so far, the two hours of lag you must design around, and the machine console call beside it.

Quotas and limits What a new account may consume, how the ceilings are prevented from overselling the hardware, and what has no limit at all.

Identity, as deployed What actually authenticates you, and every IAM concept mapped onto it — most of them to “does not exist”.
