Creating an environment

To create an environment, navigate to the environments window by clicking on the user icon in the top right corner of the main window, and clicking on “environments”. After that, you will be presented with a list of the current environments.

Next, click on the plus button situated in the top right corner of the same window, and the dialog with the options to create the environments will be shown.

Now, fill the environment name, an optional description, and the assigned quota, and click on “Create environment” to create it. Optionally, you can mark this environment as the default one so that it will be used by default when logging into your account.

Creating environments with the CLI

As administrator of an account, you can create new environments in the account.

playground env create <account_name>/<env_name> \
 --description=”This is a test” --cpu=1 --ram=2G --storage=5G --set-as-default=true

Flags:
      --cpu float32          Cpu quota
      --description string   Environment description
      --ram string           Ram quota
      --set-as-default       Set environment as default
      --storage string       Storage quota

If the quota is not indicated (cpu, ram and/or storage), the environment will be created with the default quota associated with your subscription plan. You may create many environments to accommodate your specific use case, but the number of maximum environments is limited by the subscription plan. If you need more environments, consider upgrading your subscription plan, or contact us for special requests.

If the environments that is created requires more quota than available, the following error will be shown:

rpc error: code = Internal desc = Error creating environment. Not enough resources available
