Overview
The Cloud Service Orchestration feature lets Cloud Admins, DevOps users, and General users use the HyperCloud™ Platform (HCP) without having to access public cloud provider consoles. You can provision resources like Virtual Machines (VMs), Containers, and PaaS services in public & private cloud providers by using this feature.
The HCP portal:
Provides simple and consistent experience for provisioning your resources
Lets you stay within the configuration limits
Removes technical barriers for adopting multiple cloud providers and managing multi-cloud environments
This document provides a step by step walkthrough 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 the 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.
