Elastic computing architecture

The health check for customers' cloud compute resources covers Elastic Cloud Server (ECS), Bare Metal Server (BMS), Auto Scaling (AS), and other services. It evaluates customers' requirements, and identifies threats to high availability (HA), deployment, and usage restrictions based on Huawei Cloud best practices. The efficiency, robustness, and security of existing services are all evaluated and optimization recommendations are provided accordingly.

Network architecture

The health check for customers' cloud networking resources covers Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Elastic Load Balance (ELB), Elastic IP (EIP), Virtual Private Network (VPN), and other services. It evaluates customers' requirements, and identifies threats to high availability (HA), deployment, and usage restrictions based on Huawei Cloud best practices. The efficiency, robustness, and security of existing services are all evaluated and optimization recommendations are provided accordingly.

Storage architecture

The health check for customers' cloud storage resources covers Elastic Volume Service (EVS), Object Storage Service (OBS), Scalable File Service (SFS), and other services. It evaluates customers' requirements, and identifies threats to high availability (HA), deployment, and usage restrictions based on Huawei Cloud best practices. The efficiency, robustness, and security of existing services are all evaluated and optimization recommendations are provided accordingly.

Database architecture

The health check for customers' cloud database resources covers cloud databases, such as Relational Database Service (RDS) and Gauss DB, Document Database Service (DDS), Data Replication Service (DRS), and other services. It evaluates customers' requirements, and identifies threats to high availability (HA), deployment, and usage restrictions based on Huawei Cloud best practices. The efficiency, robustness, and security of existing services are all evaluated and optimization recommendations are provided accordingly.

Middleware architecture

The health check for customers' cloud middleware resources covers Distributed Cache Service (DCS), including DCS for Redis and DCS for Memcached, Distributed Message Queue (DMQ), including DMQ for Kafka and DMQ for RabbitMQ, and other services. It evaluates customers' requirements, and identifies threats to high availability (HA), deployment, and usage restrictions based on Huawei Cloud best practices. The efficiency, robustness, and security of existing services are all evaluated and optimization recommendations are provided accordingly.

Security architecture

The health check for customers' cloud security resources covers Anti-DDoS, Web Application Firewall (WAF), Host Security Service (HSS), and other services. It evaluates customers' requirements, identifies security policy and security management risks at the access layer, application layer, and data storage layer of customers' compute, networking, storage, middleware, and database resources and other products on the cloud. The effectiveness of customers' security services and security configurations is reviewed, and optimization recommendations are provided accordingly.

Prerequisites

  1. Customers shall apply for the Health Check Service 10 working days in advance so Huawei Cloud can assess the service feasibility.
  2. Customers shall authorize Huawei Cloud to view and analyze their cloud resources.
  3. Customers shall not deny the recommendations or solutions confirmed by both parties without justified reasons.
  4. Customers take on major responsibilities for the O&M and need to perform related work.

Service Scope

  1. Service Items covered
    1. Based on customers' service status and objectives, an expert team will conduct business and technical research, obtain system information (configuration and architecture), analyze historical faults, conduct health check for the system architecture, and provide solutions for detected problems.
    2. Architecture health check covers system infrastructure components, including compute, network, storage, middleware, database, and security, analyzes their running parameters and metrics based on best practices, and outputs a summary report.
  2. Service Items not covered
    1. Designing and O&M of application systems, including but not limited to customer application development, test, deployment, migration, and fault diagnosis
    2. Installation, configuration, patch update, test, fault diagnosis, and optimization of third-party software
    3. Internet Data Center (IDC) and hardware maintenance, including inspections, replacements, and diagnosis of network devices, servers, and storage devices

Service Process

"N" indicates the time when the service application is submitted. "Day" indicates a working day.

Both Huawei Cloud and customers should participate in the requirement confirmation. The two parties shall clarify service contents and results. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement, the service cannot be provided.
