A cloudspace is a logical grouping of the cloud resources which shares the same internal virtual network subnet and break out towards the external network via the external interface of the Cloudspace virtual firewall.
Each Cloudspace is associated with only one account. Per account you can create one or more cloudspaces.

Depending on the virtual network configuration, three types of cloudspaces are supported.

• A private cloudspace is a cloudspace in which a VFW has no interface access to the external network. Such a cloudspace is isolated from the outside world
• A public cloudspace is a cloudspace in which a VFW has access to external network
• A nested cloud space is a cloudspace in which the external network interface of the VFW is a part of a virtual private network of another Cloudspace. Different types of Cloudspaces enable flexibility to create custom network configurations.

A port forward is a mapping of an external port of the VFW (Virtual Firewall) to an internal IP address and port of a VM on the private virtual network managed by this VFW.
Via Port Forwards the VMs can be accessed from the outside world by TCP or UDP.

Yes, by default, a newly created VM has an interface that is connected to the isolated virtual network of a cloud space.

A Virtual Machine (VM) is a virtual server in SCIP ® Cloud used for running applications. A VM is created inside a cloudspace, however, it can be moved between cloudspaces.

A VM is deleted if its cloudspace is deleted.

Prior to creation, the user can choose the VM parameters:

• Number of virtual CPU cores (vCPUS)
• Memory size
• Boot disk size
• Data disk size
• Image

All the parameters can be scaled on-demand after the VM creation. Port forwards and data disks can be added to the VM after creation.

Boot Disk

A VM, by default, has a Boot disk on which the OS is running. Boot disks are served by a resource pool that is optimized for storage re-use. Only one boot disk can be present on a VM. Boot Disks cannot be attached or detached. A boot disk is deleted only when its VM is deleted.

Data Disk

One or several data disks can be attached to a VM. Data disks are served by a resource pool that is optimised for high performance.
It is recommended to store application data on data disks. Data disks can be detached and attached to another VM on the same Account.
When creating a new data disk you can specify:

• Disk Size
  Note: The aggregated size of all data disks and boot disks of the cloudspace/account cannot exceed corresponding limits.
• Max IOPS
  Note: Disk IOPS cannot exceed the account limit or the cloudspace limit.

Console

Running VMs can be accessed via console on SCIP ® Cloud Portal.

The initial password is created on the fly when the VM is deployed the first time.

You can see the password by clicking the eye icon or paste it in the console by pressing the paste icon.

Capacity units used for billing :

• CU or a compute unit
• SU or a storage unit
• TU or a transaction unit
• NU or a network unit
• VCU or virtual cpu unit
• MU or memory unit
• PIU or public IP address unit
• WU or Windows unit

Compute Unit (CU)

Type: Allocation

Definition: 1 VM with 4GB of memory and 2 virtual CPU’s.
CU’s are calculated per VM, per Cloudspace, per Account and per G8 towards the upper value of the memory / virtual CPU combination.
CU = max(memory in GB/ 4 , vcpus / 2)

Virtual CPU Unit (VCU)

Type : Allocation
Definition: 1 virtual cpu in a VM equals to 1 VCU

Memory Unit (MU)

Type : Allocation
Definition: 1 MU equals to 1GiB of allocated memory

Examples for CU/VCU/MU

Storage Unit (SU)

Type: Allocation
Definition: 1 TB of allocated vdisk capacity
Example: Calculate number of SUs for a VM with 1 boot disk and 1 datadisk

Transaction Unit (TU)

Type: Allocation
Definition: 400 allocated IOPS
Example: Calculate SU for a VM with 1 boot disk and 1 datadisk

Public IP Address Units (PIU)

Type: Allocation
Definition: 1 assigned public IP Address equals to 1 PIU

Windows Units (WU)

Type: Allocation
Definition: For each deployed VM with a Windows OS image it’s CU counts as WU

Next, the Microsoft SPLA usage will be billed based on the reports by the Octopus.cloud agent running mandatory on all Windows VM’s.

Network Unit (NU)

Type: Consumption
Definition: 1 TB consumed traffic from & towards the virtual firewall or external IP address on a VM
