Provisioning Cloud Resources to an Edge AZ

Scenarios

In addition to core cloud services supported by CloudPond, you can deploy some additional cloud services at your edge site to leverage the scalability of the cloud and run your workloads locally for data localization and low latency.

• Core cloud services include ECS, EVS, VPC, and EIP. These services allow you to use compute and storage resources on premises.
• You can also deploy applications from the KooGallery on the edge site to seamlessly extend the Huawei Cloud ecosystem to the edge (coming soon).

In addition to core and additional cloud services, CloudPond also supports a variety of management, monitoring, security, and migration services. For details, see CloudPond and Other Services.

You can go to the console of each core or additional cloud service from the CloudPond console to provision cloud resources to the edge site.

Before you create cloud resources to an edge site, learn the constraints and the product documentation of each cloud service.

Prerequisites

• The edge site is in the Available state.

• You have provided the Huawei Cloud O&M team with the required carrier's line information (public IP addresses and bandwidth) if you want to use and manage your public IP addresses used at the edge site on the EIP console.

Procedure

1. Log in to the CloudPond console.
2. In the left navigation pane, choose Edge Sites.
3. In the edge site list, click the name of the target edge site.
4. In the Available Cloud Services area, click Create of the resource to be provisioned to the edge site.
5. On the resource creation page of the cloud service console, set the parameters as prompted.

   Type	Service Name	Parameter Settings	Reference
   Core cloud services	ECS	Select Edge for AZ Type. Configure other parameters as required. Pay attention to the constraints and limitations on cloud services supported by CloudPond.	ECS Quick Start
   	EVS		EVS User Guide
   	VPC		VPC User Guide
   	EIP	Select Edge path for EIP Type and then select the carrier line required by the edge site. Configure other parameters as required. Pay attention to the constraints and limitations on cloud services supported by CloudPond.	EIP Quick Start

6. Confirm the configuration and complete the creation.

Follow-up Operations

After the resources are provisioned, you can perform the following operations:

1. On the console of each cloud service, manage the cloud resources provisioned to the edge site.
2. Use Cloud Eye or other methods to monitor cloud services.
3. View the edge site resource usage on the CloudPond console.
