In practice, it is common for multiple departments (such as R&D and quality management) within a large organization to share a single cloud service account. Enterprise projects let you manage OpenSearch clusters by department or project, enabling clearer resource visibility and more fine-grained access control across regions within the shared account.
How the Feature Works
Enterprise projects are a cloud resource management feature provided by the cloud service that allow you to group cloud resources by project, department, or business. For more information, see Enterprise Management User Guide.
A newly created cluster belongs to the default project by default. To move a cluster from the default project to a custom project, you simply perform a resource migration. There is no need to re-create the cluster.
Here, resource migration is the process of moving a CSS cluster from one enterprise project (for example, default) to another (for example, TEST).
- Impact: Resource migration only changes the management metadata. It does not restart the cluster or interrupt services.
- Permission control change: After the migration, only users who have been granted permissions on the new project (or all resources) can manage the cluster.
Prerequisites
- Enterprise Project Management Service (EPS) has been enabled for your account. For details, see section "Enabling Enterprise Project" in Enterprise Management User Guide.
- You have created the destination enterprise project (for example, TEST). For details, see section "Creating an Enterprise Project" in Enterprise Management User Guide.
Migrating a Cluster Between Enterprise Projects
- Log in to the CSS management console.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Clusters > OpenSearch.
- In the cluster list, click the name of the target cluster. The cluster information page is displayed.
- On the Overview tab, find Enterprise Project in the Basic Information area, and click the enterprise project name under it. The Project Management console is displayed.
- On the Resources tab on the Project Management console, select the region of the current cluster, and select CloudSearchService as Service. Then click Search. The CSS clusters are displayed in the resource list below.
- Select the cluster whose enterprise project you want to modify and click Remove.
- In the Remove Resource dialog box, specify Mode and select Destination Enterprise Project. Confirm the change information, and click OK.
- After the change is complete, return to the OpenSearch cluster list on the CSS console and check the cluster's new enterprise project to confirm the operation result.
FAQ
- Question 1: Does changing the enterprise project change a cluster's IP address?
Changing a cluster's enterprise project does not change its IP address. It merely changes the logical ownership of cloud resources. There is no change at the network layer.
- Question 2: What should I do if, after a cluster's enterprise project is changed, the cluster is hidden from users under the original project?
After the change, the cluster management permissions are transferred to the new project. Check whether your account has the read permission on the new (destination) enterprise project.
