ZSoftly Public Cloud Account Setup Guide
Section titled “ZSoftly Public Cloud Account Setup Guide”This guide provides a step-by-step tutorial to help you create a ZSoftly Public Cloud account, set up billing, and verify your account.
Account and Project Structure
Section titled “Account and Project Structure”One email address, one account. Each email address maps to exactly one ZCP account. You cannot register a second account with an address already in use.
Use Projects for environment isolation. Most teams need one account. Create separate
Projects inside it for dev, stg, and prd. Each Project gets its own resources, quotas, and
team membership. Resources in different Projects do not share networks or storage. See
Projects for details.
Use separate accounts for hard isolation. Some organizations need a complete boundary between environments or business units: separate billing, separate IAM, and no shared resources. Create one account per boundary. Because each account requires a unique email address, use plus-addressing if your mail provider supports it:
| Account | |
|---|---|
| Account 1 | company+1@example.com |
| Account 2 | company+2@example.com |
| Account 3 | company+3@example.com |
All three addresses deliver to the same inbox. Each maps to a fully independent ZCP account with its own billing and IAM.
