Overview

The Xloud Dashboard provides a browser-based interface for managing all cloud resources in your project. This guide covers the Dashboard layout, navigation, and links to detailed workflows for each service.
Prerequisites
  • Active account in an Xloud project with member role or higher
  • Access to the Dashboard at https://connect.<your-domain>
  • Supported browser: Chrome 88+, Firefox 90+, Edge 88+, Safari 14+

​
Dashboard Layout

The Dashboard has three main areas:
AreaDescription
HeaderProject selector, Console/Admin view toggle, user menu, notification bell
SidebarNavigation menu organized by service (Compute, Storage, Network, etc.)
Content AreaResource lists, detail pages, create forms, and wizards
Switch between the Console view (project-scoped operations) and Admin view (platform-wide administration) using the toggle in the header. The Admin view is only visible to users with the admin role.

​
Resource Management

Each service section in the sidebar provides list pages, create forms, and detail views. The detailed workflows for each service are documented in their respective guides:

Instances

Launch, resize, reboot, snapshot, and manage compute instances via the 4-step wizard

Volumes

Create, attach, extend, snapshot, and back up block storage volumes

Networks

Create networks, subnets, routers, and configure floating IPs

Images

Upload OS images, manage snapshots, and share images across projects

Security Groups

Create and manage firewall rules controlling instance traffic

Key Pairs

Manage SSH key pairs for instance authentication

Object Storage

Browse and manage object storage containers and files

Key Manager

Store and manage secrets, certificates, and encryption keys

User Center

Manage your profile, change your password, and enable two-factor authentication

Global Search

Find any instance, volume, network, image, or other resource from a single search bar — keyboard-driven with Ctrl+K

​
Common Dashboard Patterns

All resource pages in the Dashboard follow consistent interaction patterns:

List pages

Every resource type has a list page showing all items in your project. Common features:
  • Search/filter bar — narrow results by name, status, or type
  • Tabs — switch between views (e.g., Current Project / Public / Shared for images)
  • Row actions — the first action is directly visible as a button; additional actions are under the More dropdown
  • Batch actions — select multiple items with checkboxes, then apply bulk operations
  • Primary action — the top-right button (e.g., “Create Instance”, “Create Volume”)
Resources are created via modal dialogs or multi-step wizards:
  • Modals — single-page forms for simple resources (networks, security groups, key pairs)
  • Step wizards — multi-page forms for complex resources (instances: 4 steps, flavors: 2 steps, bare metal: 3 steps)
  • Confirm button — all create forms use “Confirm” as the submit button
  • Quota display — real-time quota usage shown in the footer (instances, CPU, memory, volumes)
Click any resource name to open its detail page:
  • Header — key resource info (name, status, project, timestamps)
  • Tabs — organized sections (Detail, Members, Interfaces, Events, etc.)
  • Actions — same row actions available from the list page
