Third-Party Software Support

Third-party software support is introduced by HUAWEI CLOUD to share with customers experience in using third-party software during development, operation, and O&M, and help customers resolve difficulties in service deployment and O&M. The suggestions on third-party software provided by the HUAWEI CLOUD service assurance team are only for experienced system administrators or other related IT personnel. HUAWEI CLOUD is not responsible for the implementation of these suggestions.

HUAWEI CLOUD will recommend solutions to problems that occur when you deploy or run services using third-party software:

  • Tools for easy access to HUAWEI CLOUD servers to deploy services: OpenVPN, SSH, mstsc, SCP, and SFTP.
  • HUAWEI CLOUD server security policy configuration tools: Linux iptables and Windows Firewall.
  • Common databases: MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server.
  • Common web servers: Apache, Nginx, and IIS.

For third-party application problems beyond the preceding scope, contact your application provider or ask for help from relevant application communities. You can also purchase third-party software or services from HUAWEI CLOUD Marketplace or seek help from the forum of HUAWEI CLOUD Community.

HUAWEI CLOUD does not guarantee to provide suggestions on all problems within the third-party application scope. The following table Table 1 lists the supported third-party software:
