VM Definition:

A virtual machine (VM) is a virtual server that integrates resources such as vCPUs, memory, and disks to provide convenient on-demand computing services. VMs can be used together with other services, including snapshots and backups, to establish an efficient, reliable, and secure computing environment, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of your business. The core computing resources of a VM, such as vCPUs and memory, are provided by integrating physical hardware using virtualization technology.

When creating a VM, you can configure parameters such as vCPU, memory, image type, and login authentication method according to your business needs. After the VM is created, you can use it as easily as operating a local PC or physical server. In addition, VMs can be centrally managed on Sangfor Cloud Platform (SCP), which greatly reduces the complexity of resource maintenance and management and allows you to focus more on core business development.

VM Features:

• Flexible configuration and deployment: You can configure the number of VMs to deploy and their specifications, image versions, network settings, disk types, and authentication methods as needed to suit different business scenarios.

• Full lifecycle management: You can perform basic O&M operations on VMs, such as startup, shutdown, restart, and deletion. You can also clone VMs and create VM snapshots for the flexible management of dongles and HA capabilities, while dynamically adjusting vCPU and memory configuration to adapt to workload changes.

• Storage resource O&M: You can mount and unmount VM disks and expand disk capacity. You can also enable disk sharing to share data across multiple VMs.

• Elastic network configuration: You can associate VMs with and disassociate them from elastic IP addresses to meet business network access requirements, ensuring the flexibility and stability of network connections.
