v1alpha5 API
We've released our v1alpha5 API which introduces multiple projects per organization. Projects are a way to organize resources within an organization. Resources are not shared between projects. Each project will have its own VPC network and quotas. New projects can be created and listed with the projects API. Project ID will also be a required argument for resource-related APIs, such as VM management. By default, the CLI and UI will use the default project automatically created for every organization, unless another is specified.
