Elastic Cloud Server (CT-ECS) is a ready-to-use, elastically scalable computing service. Cloud servers, composed of CPUs, memory, images, and Elastic Volume Services, integrate with VPC, security groups, and data replication to create an efficient, reliable, and secure computing environment that ensures enduring and stable service operation.
Elastic cloud servers are very convenient and efficient to activate and use; all you need to do is specify configuration information such as CPU, memory, and images. Once activated, you can use the elastic cloud server on the cloud just like using a local PC or physical server, and you can also adjust the specifications of the elastic cloud server anytime according to your needs.
Architecture
Elastic cloud servers consolidate computing, storage, and networking resources, offering users a secure, high-performance, and scalable virtual computing service that can accommodate a wide range of business needs.
Product Usage Entry: You can manage and use Elastic Cloud Server via the console or OpenAPI.
Billing Method: Select from Annual and Monthly Subscription or pay-as-you-go for your elastic cloud server.
Region/Availability Zone: You can choose the region and availability zone for creating your cloud server as needed.
Cloud Server Group: When creating elastic cloud servers, you can join a cloud server group. By setting anti-affinity policies, cloud servers are deployed as evenly as possible across different physical servers to enhance the reliability of the business.
Operation Log: After enabling Cloud Audit Service, the system records events related to elastic cloud servers, which you can view in the console's operation log interface.
Quota Management: To prevent resource abuse, the platform sets quotas for various service resources, limiting the number and capacity of resources for users. For example, you can create a maximum of how many elastic cloud servers and how many EVSs. If the current quota limits do not meet your usage needs, you can apply for an increase in quota.
Access Control: Fine-grained permission management can be implemented to achieve permission isolation between different users.
Image Management Service (IMS): Images contain information such as the initial system environment, application environment, and software configurations. By using public, private, or shared images to create elastic cloud servers in batches, you can achieve rapid deployment of your business.
Snapshot Service: A snapshot refers to a complete copy or image of Elastic Volume Service drive data at a certain moment, which is an important means of data disaster recovery. When data is lost, you can fully restore the data to the snapshot point in time through the snapshot.
Elastic Volume Service (EVS): They can be partitioned and formatted like physical hard drives, meeting the data storage needs for most general business scenarios.
Cloud Backup: Provides a simple and easy-to-use backup service for elastic cloud servers. In case of events such as virus intrusion, accidental deletion, or hardware and software faults, data can be restored to any backup point.
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Establish an exclusive network environment through a VPC, set up subnets, security groups, and achieve external network connectivity through elastic public IP addresses.
Security Group: A security group is a logical group that provides access policies for cloud servers with the same security protection requirements and mutual trust.
Autoscaling: Allows flexible adjustment of the number of elastic cloud servers to efficiently match business requirements.
Cloud Migration: Supports the migration of computing resources from customer's cloud or other clouds to eSurfing Cloud.
Cloud Eye: Users can observe the usage of elastic cloud servers in real time through Cloud Eye.
