Application Acceleration

Description

The Huawei Cloud EulerOS 2.0 image supports application acceleration. You can use this type of image to optimize performance of Nginx, Redis, MySQL, Memcached, and PostgreSQL applications.

When you are purchasing ECSs, if you select the Huawei Cloud EulerOS 2.0 image and enable application acceleration, the system will provide performance tuning for the ECSs in terms of CPUs, memory, network, storage, and kernels and deliver over 20% higher performance for Nginx, Redis, MySQL, Memcached, and PostgreSQL applications.

When purchasing an ECS, you can only configure application acceleration for one type of applications.

Enabling Application Acceleration

  1. Log in to the management console and access the Buy ECS page.
  2. Set parameters required for creatingpurchasing ECSs.

    For details, see Purchasing an ECS in Custom Config Mode.

    To enable application acceleration, configure as follows:

    1. Set OS > Image.

      Select Public image > Huawei Cloud EulerOS > Huawei Cloud EulerOS 2.0.

    2. Select Application Acceleration.

      Select the application for which you want to configure application acceleration.

    3. Set Security Group.

      Open the following ports:

      • TCP: 53,80,443
      • UDP: 53
      Figure 1 Outbound rules
    After application acceleration is configured, the application performance is greatly improved, as shown in Table 1.

    The default application version in the Huawei Cloud EulerOS yum repository is installed on the ECS based on the configured application acceleration type. If you use other application versions, you may not be able to get the best performance.

Disabling Application Acceleration

  1. Log in to an ECS.
  2. Run the following command as the root user to uninstall applications related to application acceleration:

    bash /opt/booster_remove.sh
