# Scaleway

Manage Scaleway Compute instances, Kapsule, managed RDB, Object Storage, and Block Storage.

## What you can manage

- Compute instances
- Kapsule clusters (managed Kubernetes)
- Managed RDB (Postgres / MySQL)
- Object Storage (S3-compatible)
- Block Storage volumes

## Credentials

Scaleway Console → **Identity and Access Management → API keys → Generate API key**. Paste:

- **Access Key** and **Secret Key** — from the generated API key.
- **Default Project ID** — the project resources will be scoped to.

## Notable flows

- **SSH terminal** on Compute instances.
- **SQL editor** on RDB (via output reference).
- **File browser** on Object Storage.
- **Block volume attachment** to instances in the same zone.
- Zone / region picker on resource creation.

## Tips & limits

- Resources are scoped to a Project; pick the default at account add-time.
- Kapsule kubeconfigs can be exported to the [Kubernetes plugin](./kubernetes.md) via output reference.

## Cost graphs

Scaleway projects feed [cost graphs & budgets](../features/cloud-costs.md) from the Billing consumption API — monthly billing periods broken down by product, resource, and project.

- The API key's IAM principal needs the **BillingReadOnly** permission set.
- Collection is scoped to the account's configured default project, so org-level discounts (only visible unscoped) are not captured.
