Server¶

SAKURA Cloud is an IaaS cloud service. IaaS stands for Infrastructure as a Service. In other words, it is a service providing resources which serve as system infrastructure; for example, virtual servers, disks, etc.

A list of servers currently being used is displayed at the [Server] menu of the SAKURA Cloud control panel . All basic operations and confirmation for the server are performed via the control panel.

Basic operations for server¶

These procedures are for creating new servers of required CPU and memory specifications, and for changing the number of connected disks and loaded NICs (network interface).

Public archive¶

When creating new servers and disks, in addition to open source OS such as Linux and FreeBSD, you can create new servers and disks with pre-installation of Windows or other appliance software. By using this simultaneously with Disk modification , you can use a server quickly without the need for troublesome OS installation or settings configuration.

Clone¶

This function is used to create a new server with the same structure and contents as the server and disk that are already created.
