Legacy console sidebar for SPC

Reviewing the sidebar menu in https://my-stg.samsungcloud.io/main, I see the following:

• Dashboard
• Compute
  • Instances
  • Custom Images
  • Docker Images
  • Docker Registries
• Network
  • Networks
  • VLANs
  • Firewall
• Storage
  • File Manager
  • Job Builder
  • Job History
  • Fastly CDN
• Access
  • Users
  • Roles
  • Policies
• Getting Started

Please remove the items with a strike-through in that list. Reason:

• Manta jobs are not supported in SPC per MANTA-3583 and others.
• Fastly CDN is not supported/relevant for SPC

Add security headers

Follow the pattern from /instances

Need permalink for "two factor authentication" action

In the user menu in https://my.joyent.com/main/#!/dashboard, there's no link for the "two factor authentication" item.

That prevents us from using/linking to the two factor authentication settings from elsewhere.

This is relevant to #24

Add metrics reporting from webconsoles available from /metrics

Need permalink for "change password" action

In the user menu in https://my.joyent.com/main/#!/dashboard, there's no link for the "change password" item.

That prevents us from using/linking to the change password functionality from elsewhere.

This is relevant to #24

Reconciling the legacy portal nav and new products and services nav

After reviewing https://my-stg.samsungcloud.io/main, I have a few questions about how to reconcile the sidebar nav with the products and services header nav. These questions also include context from #23 and #42. Most of the sidebar items in the legacy portal map cleanly to items in the products and services nav of the new consoles, however:

1. The new products and services nav incorrectly elides the Users, Roles, and Policies objects under Access in the legacy nav under a single heading for Role Based Access Control. That's my fault from #23 and before that, but we can fix it by separately naming and linking each of the Users, Roles, and Policies as separate consoles in the new nav.
2. The Manta Job Builder and Job History of the legacy nav are the same object and would be handled in a single console in our new nav. The inconsistency of the IA and UX are pretty glaring, and we should talk more about what it might take to migrate that to a new console. However, for now it seems we have to preserve the sidebar nav to move between the builder and history component.
3. Compute instances and images are properly handled with the new nav, but Docker instances (not part of the new console at this time), but there's no new console or nav for Docker Images, and Docker Registries. It's possible that preserving the legacy console and sidebar nav just for Docker Instances, Images, and Registries is the best short term plan. Those could be reached by a single Docker entry in the new products and services nav.
4. When we're in the new instance management console, how do we invite users to switch to the old? And when users are in the old one, how do we invite them to switch to the new one? When thinking about the question that way, I'm, realizing that we don't necessarily need the old and new consoles to be separately named in the products and services nav. Instead, we might want to remember the users choice/cookie and simply direct the user to the correct place when they select VMs & Containers from that nav.

Everything else about the IA seems pretty straightforward, and I'm thinking we could actually strip the sidebar nav everywhere except in the two exceptional cases named above (Manta Job Builder and History, and Docker-related items). That said, all of this is worthy of discussion.

Redirect for usage reports in legacy portal

The usage section of the legacy portal expects a year and month in the URL, like https://my.joyent.com/main/#!/usage/2018/4.

Right now, if you try to link to https://my.joyent.com/main/#!/usage it will redirect to https://my.joyent.com/main/#!/dashboard.

Ideally, it would redirect from https://my.joyent.com/main/#!/usage to https://my.joyent.com/main/#!/usage//
