You use Tiger Console to manage your services and data in a convenient, centralized manner. When you [log into Tiger Console](https://console.cloud.tigerdata.com/), you see `Services` and other project management tabs:

![Check is running](/docs/_astro/tiger-console-services-view.F-zo-hID_1rY9dD.webp)

- `Services`: create a new [service](/docs/get-started/quickstart/create-service/index.md) in your project, and view the existing services and their statuses. Each service is an optimized [PostgreSQL](/docs/learn/glossary#postgresql/index.md) instance extended with database engine innovations such as [TimescaleDB](/docs/learn/glossary#timescaledb/index.md), managed for you by Tiger Cloud.
- `Security`: create [VPCs](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/security/overview/index.md) and [IP allowlists](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/security/overview/index.md).
- `Exporters`: [export metrics and logs](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/monitoring/index.md) from your services.
- `Activity`: [check your services](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/monitoring/index.md) and project activity.
- `Settings`: [create client credentials](/docs/integrate/find-connection-details#create-client-credentials/index.md), add AI model API keys, and request a SOC 2 report.
- `CLI/MCP`: install Tiger CLI and set up Tiger MCP.
- `Users`: [add and remove users](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/security/members/index.md) in your project.
- `Billing`: [check usage](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/pricing-and-account-management#monitor-usage-and-costs/index.md), [change pricing plans](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/pricing-and-account-management#upgrade-or-downgrade-your-pricing-plans-at-any-time/index.md), and manage payment methods.
- `Support`: open and manage [support tickets](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/pricing-and-account-management#tiger-cloud-support/index.md).

When you select a Tiger Cloud service in the `Services` tab, you land in the Ops view. In this view, you manage your services. You see `Overview` and other related tabs:

![Select a service to edit](/docs/_astro/ops-mode-overview-tiger-console.BaKQ_e8S_Z1vnL4H.webp)

- `Overview`: get an overview of your service details, infrastructure, [connection info](/docs/get-started/quickstart/create-service#connect-to-your-service/index.md), and performance optimization tips.
- `Actions`: [connect and import data](/docs/migrate/index.md) into your service.
- `Explorer`: [inspect objects and storage configuration](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/service-management/service-explorer/index.md) for your service.
- `Monitoring`: [get visibility](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/monitoring/index.md) into your service performance.
- `Connectors`: [sync or stream](/docs/migrate/index.md) directly in your service, so data from another source is continuously updated.
- `Operations`: fully manage your service: [configure compute and storage](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/service-management/change-resources/index.md), [set up replicas](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/high-availability/overview/index.md), [back up](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/security/overview/index.md), upgrade, and more.
- `AI`: create vector embeddings and [manage AI extensions](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/tiger-cloud-extensions/index.md) for your service.

Use the toggle at the top to switch to Data view. In this view, you can [write queries with autocomplete](/docs/build/data-management/run-queries-from-tiger-console#data-view/index.md) for any service, save them in folders, share them, and create charts/dashboards with the added power of AI.

To query your service from any tab, click `SQL Editor` at the bottom. The floating window expands and is ready for work. Click the window icon in its top right to change the editor position on the screen.
