Because you can use multiple projects (depending on your quotas), the project name and ID are always displayed, regardless of which screen you are visiting, so you know what environment you are acting on.
The ID may be required when using the CLI, for certain support requests or otherwise. You can copy it by clicking on the icon to the right of it.

The center of the screen provides shortcuts for quick access to the most useful configuration wizards and guides.
For each resource you want to create, you will be accompanied by a configuration wizard which, step by step, allows you to set up the resource according to your needs.

<br>Most of the time, you will have to choose the location of the resource, the model, some customisable settings and, in some cases, the billing method.
|**Horizon**|This is the [graphical interface](/pages/public_cloud/public_cloud_cross_functional/introducing_horizon) usually available on OpenStack. It is not altered, which allows users who are used to this interface to easily navigate it.|

|**Quota and Regions**|This tool allows you to control the locations and resource limits available on your project.<br><br>**Quotas**: Based on certain criteria (number of bills already paid, use of other OVHcloud products), our system sets quotas (limits) on the number of resources you can create, in order to avoid any outstanding amounts. By default, the system increases your quotas automatically when certain criteria are met.

Furthermore, each location can contain several “regions” (a concept unique to OpenStack). For example, for a European customer, the APAC (Asia Pacific) zone is disabled by default. If it suits your needs, you can activate new regions from this menu.|

| Performance and scalability | Limited performance and basic scalability. Suitable for small or non-critical deployments. Scalability is generally manual and slower. Ideal for static environments or small projects. | Average performance with improved scalability management via GUI. Faster scalability than in the OVHcloud Control Panel, but limited by the interface. Suitable for medium-sized projects or those requiring scalability. | Optimal performance and complete scalability. Enables rapid, automated mass deployments via scripts or third-party tools. Ideal for dynamic infrastructures, heavy loads and environments requiring high elasticity. Recommended for mission-critical architectures. |
