- Cloud Infrastructure Overview - - The Management Server manages one or more zones (typically, datacenters) containing host computers where guest virtual machines will run. The cloud infrastructure is organized as follows: - - - Zone: Typically, a zone is equivalent to a single datacenter. A zone consists of one or more pods and secondary storage. See About Zones. - Pod: A pod is usually one rack of hardware that includes a layer-2 switch and one or more clusters. See About Pods. - Cluster: A cluster consists of one or more hosts and primary storage. See About Clusters. - Host: A single compute node within a cluster. The hosts are where the actual cloud services run in the form of guest virtual machines. See About Hosts. - Primary storage is associated with a cluster, and it stores the disk volumes for all the VMs running on hosts in that cluster. See About Primary Storage - Secondary storage is associated with a zone, and it stores templates, ISO images, and disk volume snapshots. See About Secondary Storage. - - - - - - infrastructure_overview.png: Nested organization of a zone - -

- Deployment Architecture Overview - - - A &PRODUCT; installation consists of two parts: the Management Server and the cloud infrastructure that it manages. When you set up and manage a &PRODUCT; cloud, you provision resources such as hosts, storage devices, and IP addresses into the Management Server, and the Management Server manages those resources. - - - The minimum installation consists of one machine running the &PRODUCT; Management Server and another machine to act as the cloud infrastructure (in this case, a very simple infrastructure consisting of one host running hypervisor software). - - - - - - basic_deployment.png: Basic two-machine &PRODUCT; deployment - - A more full-featured installation consists of a highly-available multi-node Management Server installation and up to thousands of hosts using any of several advanced networking setups.
