Cloud Hub can display data for a selected Google Cloud project or App Hub application.
Viewing data by project provides many useful insights. However, when you view data for a selected Google Cloud project, your don't have a clear view of relationships that resources might have across other projects.
When you create App Hub applications, you can manage related resources together across your projects and better understand resource interactions and analyze, monitor, manage, and troubleshoot in an application-centric way.
The views that are available on a Cloud Hub page depend on the type of data that you are viewing.
Project views
When you select a regular Google Cloud project in the project picker, Cloud Hub displays data for resources in that project.
You must have the permissions required to view the data in the selected project.
Application views
When you select a folder configured for application management or its management project from the project picker, you can view data for applications that you have created under that project.
Folders enabled for application management have a special icon (
). The management project for that folder also has a unique icon (
).
To create your applications, you can use App Hub to group together your existing Google Cloud resources or Application Design Center to design and deploy new applications.
To learn about required permissions for viewing application data, see Access control with IAM.
