2. In the Workspaces page, click Add workspace.
3. Enter a descriptive workspace name.
4. Select a contract. Contracts determine available products and features.
5. Select a product. Products define the core capabilities available in your workspace.
6. Select a primary group. Groups are managed in the Identity and Access Managementat the account level to control user permissions.
7. Add one or more service hostnames. Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs), such as www.example.com, that end users use to reach your service. These hostnames automatically route traffic to your production environment.

   Only production environments are available during Delivery Manager Beta

8. Review service hostname settings. Service hostnames are automatically grouped into a Primary hostnames set so you can manage routing, network activation, and TLS settings as a single unit.
   • Secure network: Defaults to Standard TLS (SOX- and ISO-compliant L1 security). Switch on Use Enhanced TLS if your site handles sensitive data like PII or payment details requiring PCI or FedRAMP compliance, or if you need non-SNI support for legacy clients.
   • Certificate type: Defaults to Default DV, which Akamai automatically provisions, renews, and replaces. Select CPS Managed/Other if you plan to use advanced or custom certificates.
9. Optionally, enter origin information. This is the origin server hostname, such as origin.example.com that the edge network uses to fetch your authoritative backend content.
10. Review the default settings determined by the product you selected. You can edit these settings later on.
11. Click Create workspace.You land directly on your new Production environment overview, where your initial service hostnames are ready for validation.
12. Once you're ready with all updates, click the global Save at the top of the page.
