Optimization Advisor (OA)

Optimization Advisor (OA) is a cloud service that helps you configure resources by following best practices. OA is built on Huawei's IT expertise. It leverages industry-leading public cloud solutions to help you analyze on-cloud resource deployment, including service performance, security, reliability, costs, and service quotas. It identifies risks and provides recommendations to improve cloud service stability.

Before using this service, you must understand and agree to authorize Huawei Cloud OA to analyze your cloud resource data, including resource deployment data, resource configurations, resource O&M data, and resource quotas. Such data is only used for providing services and is retained for one month. If you have any questions about the authorization scope, contact Huawei Cloud customer service for assistance.

The main features of OA include:

• Risk check: OA scans your cloud resources for risks in terms of performance, reliability, security, costs (available for the Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support Plan), and service baseline, and provides optimization recommendations. You can download the check results to your local PC for analysis.
• Automatic check: You can enable automatic checks on the risk check page and configure an execution frequency and time to perform automatic checks on schedule. You can also send the check results to your email address.
• User-defined check rules: You can disable or enable a check item, and modify performance and cost thresholds in check.
• Historical check records: You can view the check records and results of your resources for the past 30 days.
• Architecture design: You can map out your cloud service and deployment architectures with ease using architecture design. With just a few clicks, you can visually represent capacity risk monitoring data, associated resources, and all the links in your architecture.
• Capacity optimization: OA analyzes your cloud resource usage and identifies cloud service or resource capacity risks, such as insufficient CPU, memory, or hard disk resources.
• Resource groups: You can create resource groups to centrally manage different types of resources, such as ECSs, EVS disks, EIPs, bandwidths, and databases by group, and identify capacity risks by service, improving O&M efficiency.
• Monthly service reports: You can view the usage and changes of all your resources in the last month and export a monthly report to your local PC. Note: This feature is being improved.
