Cloud Hub can display data for resources in a Google Cloud project or an App Hub application.
Viewing data in individual projects makes it difficult to understand resource relationships and dependencies that span across multiple projects. To understand these relationships, App Hub applications let you group related resources together across projects so that you can understand resource interactions and analyze, monitor, manage, and troubleshoot in an application-centric way.
The data that is available on a Cloud Hub page depend on the type of data that you are viewing.
Resources in a project
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.
Applications
When you select a folder configured for application management or its management project from the project picker, you can view data for an application that you created under that project.
Several pages in Cloud Hub shows data for multiple applications:
- Deployments: Displays deployment notifications and updates for applications in the folder.
- App Topology: Displays query results for all applications, services, or workloads that meet the query criteria.
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 .
Support for applications and project resources
The following table shows which types of data are available for each main section of Cloud Hub.
| App Topology |

If you navigate between pages in Cloud Hub, the selected project or application persists if both pages support that type of data. If you want to review data for multiple applications or projects, consider using a dedicated browser tab for each application or project that you want to view.
