For details, see Purchasing a FlexusL Instance.

FlexusL Instance Login

After a FlexusL instance is created, you can log in to the cloud server and deploy websites or applications on it. FlexusL instances support multiple login modes. You can select a login mode as required.

For details, see Login Modes.

Password Reset

You can reset the password of a FlexusL instance as needed.

• FlexusL instances do not have initial passwords. If you use a FlexusL instance for the first time, reset the password offline.
• If the password is lost or has expired, you can reset the password online or offline.

For details, see Resetting the Password for a FlexusL Instance.

OS Change

If the OS of a FlexusL instance is abnormal, you can reinstall the OS to restore it.

If the OS of a FlexusL instance cannot meet your service requirements, you can change it to another OS version or type.

For details, see Managing OSs of FlexusL Instances.

Specification Modification

If the vCPUs, memory, system disk capacity, peak bandwidth, or data package of a FlexusL instance cannot meet your service requirements, you can upgrade the instance specifications.

For details, see Modifying the Specifications of a FlexusL Instance.

Image Management

FlexusL provides OS images, application images, and private images for you to choose from. You can use a private image to quickly create a FlexusL instance with the same configurations as the image, or use a private image to change the OS.

For details, see Image Overview.

EVS Disk Management

FlexusL instances include system and data disks. When a cloud server is created, a system disk is automatically created and attached. You do not need to purchase a system disk separately. If you have additional storage requirements, you can add one data disk to a FlexusL instance. If the disk capacity is insufficient, you can expand it.

For details, see EVS Disk Overview.

Security Group Management

A security group is a collection of access control rules for cloud resources, such as cloud servers, containers, and databases, that have the same security protection requirements and that are mutually trusted. After a security group is created, you can configure access rules that will apply to all cloud resources added to this security group.

When you create a FlexusL instance, the system automatically creates a default security group (sg-default-smb) and associates it with the instance. You can also create a security group based on service requirements and associate it with the instance.

For details, see Security Group Overview.

Host Security

HSS is designed to improve the overall security for cloud servers. It helps you identify and manage the assets on your servers, eliminate risks, and defend against intrusions and web page tampering. There are also advanced protection and security operations functions available to help you easily detect and handle threats.

For details, see Configuring HSS for a FlexusL Instance.

Backup Management

Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) enables you to back up cloud servers and disks with ease. In the event of a virus attack, accidental deletion, or software or hardware fault, you can restore data to any point in the past when the data was backed up. CBR protects your services by ensuring the security and consistency of your data.

For details, see FlexusL Cloud Backup Overview.

Domain Name Management

To enable a website or web application to be directly accessed using a domain name over the Internet, you need to register a domain name, license the website or web application, and configure DNS. You can add and resolve domain names for FlexusL instances on the FlexusL console.

For details, see Adding and Resolving a Domain Name for a FlexusL Instance.

Monitoring

Monitoring is important to ensure FlexusL instance performance, reliability, and availability. You can use Cloud Eye to monitor FlexusL instances and know their statuses. Cloud Eye can monitor a range of metrics, such as the CPU usage, disk usage, and bandwidth of FlexusL instances.

For details, see Monitoring Overview.
