云计算与分布式数据处理技术总结.ppt

* The core components of a CloudStack implementation are: Hosts – Hosts are servers from at least one of the supported virtualization providers. CloudStack fully supports hosts from multiple providers, but does not convert VM images from one hypervisor type to another. Depending on the hypervisor, a “host” may be a higher level concept. For example, in XenServer a CloudStack “host” is equivalent to a XenServer resource pool and the “host” entry is the pool master. Primary Storage – Primary storage is the hypervisor level storage containing the deployed VM storage. Primary storage options will vary by hypervisor, and depending upon the hypervisor selected, CloudStack may impose requirements upon it. Cluster – Host groups are combined into Clusters which contain the primary storage options for the Cluster. Primary storage isn’t shared outside of a Cluster. In the case of CloudStack, a Cluster in of itself does not imply modification of any clustering concept within the hypervisor. For example, in XenServer a resource pool is a host to CloudStack, and CloudStack does not create a super set of Cluster functionality for XenServer. Pod -- Host groups are combined first into Clusters and then into Pods. For many customers, a pod represents a high level physical concept like a server rack Network – Network is the logical and physical network associated with service offerings. Multiple concurrent network service offerings and topologies can be supported within CloudStack Secondary Storage – Secondary storage is the storage system used for template and ISO management. It also is where snapshot events occur. Zone – A zone is a collection pods to form some level of service availability. While Amazon EC2 defines an availability zone as a data center, CloudStack keeps the concept more abstract allowing cloud operators to have multiple availability zones within a given data center. Management Server Farm – The CloudStack management server farm is a grouping of C
