ECS and Other Services

Auto Scaling (AS)

Automatically adjusts ECS resources to keep up with changes in demand based on the configured AS policies. This improves resource utilization and reduces costs.

• Using an Existing ECS to Create an AS Configuration
• Using a New Specifications Template to Create an AS Configuration

Elastic Load Balance (ELB)

Automatically distributes traffic to multiple ECSs. This improves fault tolerance.

Adding Backend Servers

Elastic Volume Service (EVS)

Allows you to attach EVS disks to an ECS and expand their capacity.

• Attaching a Non-Shared Disk
• Attaching a Shared Disk

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Allows you to create your own dedicated network on the cloud by customizing security groups, VPNs, IP address ranges, and bandwidths. This simplifies network management. You can also customize the ECS access rules within a security group and between security groups to improve ECS security.

• Assigning an EIP and Binding It to an ECS
• Adding a Security Group Rule

Image Management Service (IMS)

Allows you to create ECSs using images. This improves the efficiency of ECS creation. You can also use an existing ECS to create a private image and export the data of the ECS system disk or data disks.

• Creating a Data Disk Image Using an ECS Data Disk
• Creating a Full-ECS Image Using an ECS

Cloud Eye

Allows you to check the status of monitored ECS resources. This can be done without requiring additional plug-ins.

• Basic ECS Metrics
• ECS Metrics Under OS Monitoring (with Agent Installed)

Data Encryption Workshop (DEW)

The encryption feature relies on DEW. You can use an encrypted image or EVS disks when creating an ECS. In such a case, you need to use the key provided by DEW to improve data security.

• EVS Disk Encryption
• Encrypting Images

Cloud Trace Service (CTS)

Records ECS-related operations for later query, auditing, and backtracking.

• Key Operations Supported by CTS

Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR)

Backs up EVS disks and ECSs for fault recovery.

Purchasing a Server Backup Vault

Tag Management Service (TMS)

Identifies ECSs to help classification and search.

• Adding Tags
• Searching for Resources by Tag
