Support the automation of business processes by loosely coupling services across different applications and enterprises.
Creating second-generation, composite applications.
In other words, service orchestration is the combination of service interactions to,:
Create higher-level business services.
...
General:
VMware vCenter Server is mandatory. [1]
Compute & Storage:
HyperCloud uses the concept of an Availability Zone which maps to:
One or more vSphere datacenters.
One or more vSphere clusters with one or more shared storages (VSAN, iSCSI, NFS, or FCP).
Virtual Networking:
One or more distributed switches managing the vSphere Cluster Networking.
One or more routable (DHCP) VLANs backed distributed port groups for VMs preconfigured in vCenter Server.
Distributed Switch physical uplinks must be configured to trunk all VM VLANs.
Authentication:
Use a service account (example: hc_vcenter_svc@vsphere.local) for connecting the HyperCloud to vCenter Server with the following permissions:
Code Block language bash Datastore > Browse
...
Datastore > Allocate Space
...
Virtual Machine > Configuration >
...
<Select All Permissions> Virtual Machine > Inventory > <Select All Permissions> Interaction > <Select All Permissions> Provisioning > Customize Provisioning > Deploy Template Provisioning > Read Customization specifications Network > Assign Network Resource > Assign Virtual Machine to Resource Pool
VM Templates:
VM Templates must be pre-created and marked as templates in the VMware vCenter Server. [2]

Microsoft Hyper-V Provider Requirements
...
Microsoft Hyper-V is a virtualization software that, well, virtualizes the software. It can not only virtualize the operating systems but also the entire hardware components, such as hard drives and network switches. Unlike Fusion and Virtualbox, Hyper-V is not limited to the user’s device; you can use it for server virtualization as well.
...
General:
Hyper-V Nodes must be set up in a Fail Over Cluster. [1]
Compute & Storage:
HyperCloud manages Hyper-V nodes using a Host agent (proxy).
This agent must be installed on all Hyper-V Server.
Update the value of < HCP_Proxy_Password > using the following command with Run As Administrator privileges:
Code Block language powershell PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "get https://repo.skygrid.cloud/repo/6.x/6.5.2/LATEST/proxy/HyperVProxy_Install_Windows_v1.3.ps1 OutFile ProxyInstaller.ps1; & .\ProxyInstaller.ps1 4434 <HCP_Proxy_Password>"
Hyper-V Node must be configured with Clustered Storage Volumes.
One Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) for VM Templates (vhdx) Storage.
One Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) for deploying VMs using HyperCloud Portal.
HyperCloud uses the concept of an Availability Zone which maps to,
One Hyper-V Failover Cluster Manager
One Cluster Shared Volume for VM Template Storage.
Example: C:\CSVs\Hypercloud_TemplatesOne Cluster Shared Volume for deploying VMs.
Example: C:\CSVs\Hypercloud_Production.
Virtual Networking:
Hyper-V vmSwitch and its NIC must be configured to trunk all or required VLANs.
DHCP IP Addressing must be configured for the VLAN selected during VM Provisioning.
VM VLANs must be routable and be able to reach the HyperCloud portal on port 5671. [2]
Authentication:
Create a dedicated Windows AD service account (Example:svc_hcp@domain.com) with the following permissions:
must belong to the Active Directory Domain.
must not be a member of Domain Admins Group.
must be a member of local administrators on each Hyper-V Server.
must be allowed Logon as a service right on each Hyper-V Server.
VM Templates:
VM Templates must be provided as VHDX files and placed in the Share CSV. This path will be configured in the Availability Zone. [3]
