Rich directory of cloud services

The H3Cloud OS cloud operating system abstracts IT resources into various cloud services, which users can apply for and use as needed. At present, H3Cloud OS cloud operating system can provide cloud services including X86 virtual machines, cloud hard drives, cloud firewalls, cloud load balancing, cloud networks, public IP addresses, etc.

X86 virtual machine

The H3Cloud OS cloud operating system provides users with a variety of cloud host (virtual machine) options. Users can choose the specifications of the required cloud host according to their needs, including CPU, memory, hard disk, temporary disk, SWAP, CPU binding, NUMA settings, memory large page WatchDog， And the corresponding operating system, when the application process is completed, the cloud host will be automatically pushed to the self-service portal for users to operate and manage.

Cloud Host Application

Multi level user role division

According to the requirements of data center cloud business division, H3Cloud OS cloud operating system divides users into three categories: cloud administrators, tenant administrators, and end-users.

Cloud Administrator

Cloud administrators are responsible for the operation and maintenance of cloud data centers. On the one hand, cloud administrators need to be responsible for the operation and maintenance of cloud data center infrastructure, and on the other hand, they need to take on operational tasks such as tenant management, process management, and billing management. In large cloud data centers, there will be different personnel responsible for cloud operations administrators and cloud operations administrators.

Tenant Administrator

The tenant administrator is responsible for maintaining the tenant's cloud resources. The tenant administrator can manage the organization's cloud hosts, cloud firewalls, cloud hard drives, cloud firewalls, cloud load balancing, cloud databases, etc,

end user

End users, as users of cloud resources, apply for, use, and manage cloud resources through self-service portals. The end user exists within the tenant.

Tenant cloud resource monitoring

Tenant cloud resource monitoring is a service that monitors various application resources deployed by tenants in cloud data centers. Cloud monitoring services can be used to collect monitoring indicators for obtaining cloud resources, detect the availability of various application services, and set alerts for indicators. Cloud monitoring services can monitor various tenant application service resources such as cloud hosts (Windows, Linux), databases (MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL), middleware (Tomcat, Weblogic, Websphere, Glassfish), and can also monitor the availability of Internet applications through common network protocols such as HTTP and ICMP. With the help of cloud monitoring services, tenants can have a comprehensive understanding of resource usage, performance, and operational status on the cloud. With the help of alarm services, tenants can respond promptly and ensure the reliable operation of applications.
