Third-Party Software Support

Third-party software support is on a best-effort basis. With such support, Huawei Cloud shares with you experience in using third-party software during development, operations, and O&M to help you resolve difficulties in service deployment and O&M. The recommendations for third-party software provided by the Huawei Cloud service assurance team are only for experienced system administrators or related IT personnel. Huawei Cloud is not responsible for the application of these recommendations.

Huawei Cloud can assist with the deployment, use, and troubleshooting of the following third-party platforms and applications:

  • Tools for easy access to Huawei Cloud servers for service deployment: OpenVPN, SSH, MSTSC, SCP, and SFTP
  • Tools for configuring Huawei Cloud server security policies: Linux iptables and Windows firewall
  • Common databases: MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server
  • Common web servers: Apache, Nginx, and IIS

If you have problems with other third-party software, contact your application provider or ask for help from relevant application communities. You can also purchase third-party software or services from Huawei Cloud KooGallery or seek help from the forum in the Huawei Cloud community.
