What is the purpose of a project in VMware Aria Automation?

In VMware Aria Automation, a project serves as a fundamental organizational unit that maps compute resources to users and groups. Projects allow administrators to define which cloud zones users can deploy workloads to, and they manage the membership and permissions of users within the project. This organizational structure helps ensure that resources are allocated and managed according to the needs and policies of different business units or teams.

A project can specify several configurations, including the maximum number of instances, memory limits, CPU limits, and storage limits that the project can use. Additionally, projects help enforce governance by applying constraints and custom properties that dictate deployment behaviors and resource usage.
