Relationships Between Workspace and Other Services

Figure 1 shows the relationships between Workspace and other services.

Figure 1 Relationships between Workspace and other services

ECS

An Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) is a computing server equipped with CPUs, memory, images, and Elastic Volume Service (EVS) disks. ECSs can be created on demand and support auto scaling. Workspace desktops run on ECSs.

IMS

Image Management Service (IMS) provides easy-to-use self-service image management functions. It provides images for generating Workspace desktops.

EVS

Elastic Volume Service (EVS) provides scalable block storage that features high reliability and high performance to meet different service requirements. It provides data storage capabilities for Workspace desktops.

Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR)

Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) lets you back up EVS disks with ease. If there is a virus intrusion, accidental deletion, or software/hardware fault, data can be restored to any backup point. CBR protects your workloads by ensuring the security and consistency of your data, and provides data backup capabilities for Workspace.

ELB

Elastic Load Balance (ELB) automatically distributes access traffic to multiple ECSs to balance the load. It enables you to achieve better fault tolerance in your applications and expand application service capabilities. ELB is an entry for accessing Workspace from the Internet and provides Elastic IP (EIP) for Workspace.

VPC

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) provides virtual networks and advanced network services, such as Elastic IP (EIP), security groups, and virtual private networks (VPNs). A VPC logically isolates networks and provides a secure and isolated network environment for Workspace.

VPC Endpoint

VPC endpoint provides secure and private channels to connect your VPC to terminal endpoint services (cloud services or your private services), so that you can access terminal endpoint services without having to use EIPs. Connect your local data center to cloud services using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection or a Direct Connect connection over a private network to improve access efficiency and security with low costs. VPC endpoint provides Direct Connect streams for Workspace to connect to other services.

NAT Gateway

NAT Gateway allows multiple Workspace desktops in a VPC to share an EIP to access the Internet.

IAM

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a basic service of Huawei Cloud that provides permissions management to help you securely control access to your cloud services and resources. After creating an account on IAM, the administrator can control the access scope of Workspace resources in a refined manner.

Direct Connect

Direct Connect allows you to establish a dedicated network connection between your data center and the cloud platform. This service can reduce the network latency of Workspace and provide better user experience than the Internet access.
