    Study Notes

    Image Management Service (IMS)

    • Image Lifecycle Management: IMS enables users to manage the complete lifecycle of images, from creation to deletion.
    • Image Types:
      • Public Images: Standard images provided by the cloud platform, available to all users, and contain an OS and pre-installed public applications.
      • Private Images: Available only to the creator and contain an OS, service data, pre-installed public applications, and custom applications added by the creator. These can be system disk, data disk, or full-ECS images.
      • Shared Images: Private images that other users have shared.
      • Marketplace Images: Third-party images published in the Marketplace, containing an OS, application environment, and pre-installed software.

    Scenarios

    • Migrating Servers to the Cloud: Import local images to the cloud platform to quickly create cloud servers.
    • Deploying a Specific Software Environment: Utilize shared or Marketplace images to effortlessly build custom software environments.
    • Backing Up Server Environments: Create an image from an ECS to safeguard the server data.

    Auto Scaling (AS)

    • Automatic Resource Adjustment: AS dynamically scales resources based on pre-configured policies, ensuring system stability by responding to changes in demand.
    • Enhanced Cost Management: AS reduces costs by automatically adjusting resources, optimizing utilization.
    • Improved Availability: AS ensures sufficient resources are always available for applications.
    • High Fault Tolerance: AS monitors instances and replaces unhealthy ones, enhancing reliability.

    AS Architecture

    • Scaling Control: Configure thresholds and schedules to trigger scaling actions based on specific needs.
    • Policy Configuration:
      • Alarm-Based: Triggered when monitored metrics (e.g., CPU usage) exceed predefined thresholds.
      • Scheduled: Scheduled to execute at specific times.
      • Periodic: Triggered at regular intervals or within specified time ranges.

    Scenarios

    • Web Applications:

      E-Commerce: AS scales resources during promotions to ensure smooth operation.

    • Heavy-Traffic Portals: AS dynamically adjusts resources based on monitored ECS metrics.

    AS Basic Concepts

    • AS Group: A collection of instances with similar attributes that share the same AS policies.
    • AS Configuration: Specifies the specifications for instances added to an AS group (e.g., ECS type, vCPUs, memory)
    • AS Policy: Defines the trigger condition for a scaling action and the corresponding operations to be performed.
    • Scaling Action: Adds or removes instances from an AS group to maintain the desired number of instances.
    • Cooldown Period: Prevents repeated scaling actions for the same event.
    • Bandwidth Scaling: AS automatically adjusts bandwidth based on the configured policy.

    Other Compute Services

    • Cloud Container Engine (CCE): A high-performance, scalable Kubernetes service for managing containers and applications on HUAWEI CLOUD.
    • Dedicated Host (DeH): A physical server dedicated to a user's services, providing isolated resources and compatibility with existing software licenses.
    • FunctionGraph: A serverless computing service allowing users to run code without managing servers. FunctionGraph handles server maintenance and scaling, and charges only for execution time.
