Overview
The Quick Start Guide enable Cloud Admins, DevOps user or general users to use HyperCloud™ Platform for Service Orchestration without the need of accessing any of the public cloud provider consoles. HyperCloud™ Platform provides a simple and consistent user experience so users can provision resources quickly while staying within configurable limits and removes the technical barrier to adopting multiple cloud providers. Service Orchestration includes provisioning resources like VMs, Containers and PaaS services in public & private cloud providers.
Target Audience
This document is intended to be used by cloud practitioners and cloud administrators, who are looking to manage their multi-cloud environments using HyperCloud Platform.
Introduction
This document provides a step by step walk through of the process of creating a Blueprint to provision resources like VMs or Kubernetes Apps or Terraform templates. The blueprint creation process is slightly different for Virtual machines than that of Kubernetes App and Terraform template. Blueprints of all types can be preconfigured and published by Admins so users can just consume them directly.
This document will focus on the Service Orchestration feature "Blueprints and Plugins" for VM Provisioning on the HyperCloudTM Platform. Blueprints are Service Catalog items that can be published by Blueprint Publishers to be consumed by cloud users via the HyperCloud App Store.
HyperCloud™ Platform provides the ability to broker provisioning requests to private and public cloud providers. However, provisioning in a cloud provider public or private, the user is still required to pick resources like Operating System, Size, Network, Storage, etc. With public cloud providers the options available for images, sizes, regions are endless. Picking the right image or instance can be challenging and cumbersome. HyperCloud™ Platform simplifies this with the Blueprint capabilities.
Summary
HyperCloud™ Service orchestration simplifies consuming cloud resources and provides a consistent user experience. Users do not need to deal with the complexity of each cloud provider while cloud admins can set guardrails via HyperCloud™ platform to ensure cloud resources are consumed optimally.
