Cloud Monitor:Create a workspace

Last Updated:Feb 28, 2026

A workspace is an abstraction layer in Cloud Monitor 2.0 that represents a collection of resources. It provides unified management and data fencing for resources. The region that you select stores the data and configuration information for the workspace. You can use workspaces to create multiple independent resource environments. Each workspace can contain its own set of monitored objects, including Alibaba Cloud services, infrastructure, server-side and frontend applications, and middleware. Resources in each workspace are isolated from one another. This isolation prevents resource contention and improves security.

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure that you have activated the Alibaba Cloud Monitor 2.0 service.
