Service Offerings

OpenCloud offers Users and Accounts a variety of options in terms of how they want to set up their own Domains as well as how they want to dole out the Resources of those Domains. One such option is the Service Offering, a Resource Template applied to Instances when created. Another is the Disk Offering, which defines the amount of storage that an Instance can initially be created with. Both Service and Disk Offerings can be adjusted to suit the needs of the Instance.

A Service Offering includes choices of CPU and RAM. Some of these options can be joined together and some can be separated, but all must be chosen to build an Instance.

A Disk Offering includes a choice of Disks that can be attached to an Instance.

Service offerings can, but do not always, include choices of CPU speed, number of CPUs, amount of RAM, and other options.

Disk offerings can, but do not always, include a choice of disk sizes and IOPs for data storage.

Network Offerings are discussed in a different KB but do cover the network options that an Instance can have.

Viewing the currently available Compute and Disk Offerings

  1. To see what offerings are currently available in OpenCloud, first log in to the OpenCloud portal and then click on Service Offerings in the left-hand panel.
  2. The dropdown will contain Compute Offerings, System Offerings, Disk Offerings, Network Offerings, and VPC Offerings.
  3. The ones that will apply to this KB are Compute and Disk. Network Offerings are covered in another KB.
  4. To view the available Compute and Storage Offerings, click on Compute Offerings to see the list in the main screen. They will define CPU Cores, the MHz provided by that Core, and the RAM assigned to that Offering.
  5. Click into any Compute Offering to see more details about it.
  6. The Compute Offering page here also shows the Domain that the Offering belongs to. There are arrows that allow the Offerings to be ordered so that the one at the top will be seen first when building Instances regardless of size or description.
  7. The first two arrows can move an Offering to the very top and very bottom. The last two arrows move the offering up one row or down one row.
  8. The Offerings can be sorted by Name, Description, CPU, and even Zone.
  9. The same applies to Disk Offerings. To see them, click on Disk Offerings in the left-hand panel under Service Offerings.
  10. The Disk Offerings can be investigated and organized the same way.
