VNG CorporationUse this guide to get started with vCloudStack . You will learn the basic components and scope of operations management that VNG Cloud's vCloudStack service provides you, so you can better understand and operate your business system.
As introduced, vCloudStack provides cloud computing services right at the customer's local premises, so most of the components will be located and managed at the customer's premises such as:
Network devices such as Firewalls and Routers (Switches );
Devices for virtualization and storage such as Compute Nodes/Storage Nodes/Backup Nodes .
The components that vCloudStack will directly operate and manage at VNG Cloud include:
The interface ( Portal ) for virtualization and internal virtual machine operation is completely consistent with the general interface of VNG Cloud;
Middleware ;
Virtual machine processor and controller ( Controller ).
From the infrastructure installed at the enterprise's internal facilities, vCloudStack provides operational management interfaces with necessary functions for system administrators and operators to easily operate.
System administrators are usually senior staff (admin) whose administrative role requires them to grasp all the information that the network system is operating, especially information about physical infrastructure and virtualization information, as well as managing personnel accessing and operating the virtual machine system. Therefore, vCloudstack provides businesses with a comprehensive administration interface for users who are system-level administrators, which is vCloudstack Admin Site, this interface provides the following main features:
Dashboard: Physical resource management;
User Management: Manage, authorize and limit usage for operating personnel;
Infrastructure: Monitor virtualization resource information (compute/storage/network/backup);
User Resource: Monitors the operations staff's management of virtualized resources (Server/Volume).
To operate the hybrid network system, vCloudStack provides a server virtualization management interface called vCloudStack User Site. This interface allows performing server virtualization functions such as:
Server: Server virtualization and server operations;
Blockstore : Create storage, backup, snapshot for virtual server;
Network: Manage the network part for the server and distribute traffic with LoadBalancer;
