PaaS Cluster Overview<\/h2>\n

Basic Concepts<\/h2>\n

Cluster:<\/h3>\n

Cluster refers to a collection of servers and associated resources that collaborate as a unified entity. This collaboration empowers users to develop, troubleshoot, deploy, test, execute, and manage hosted applications seamlessly. Within the context of Platform as a Service (PaaS)<\/a>, a cluster typically encompasses Hardware Nodes along with a Cluster Orchestrator.<\/p>\n

Cluster Orchestrator:<\/h3>\n

The Cluster Orchestrator, also known as the Infrastructure node, comprises a collection of internal elements dedicated to resource management, request processing, and facilitating the upkeep of the PaaS system.<\/p>\n

Hardware Node:<\/h3>\n

Hardware nodes serve as the backbone of our infrastructure, constituting the physical servers that house individual virtual machines tailored to meet the requirements of users’ environments.<\/p>\n

Environment:<\/h3>\n

An environment is like a set of separate virtual boxes, each one packed with everything needed for a specific application to run smoothly.<\/p>\n

Node (Container):<\/h3>\n

A node or container is like a virtual machine set up within the environment and kept on specific hardware.<\/p>\n

AccuWeb.Cloud<\/h3>\n

AccuWeb.Cloud is hosts VPS (Virtual Private Server)<\/a>. It allows multiple containers to run on one physical server through operating system-level virtualization.<\/p>\n

General Cluster Overview<\/h2>\n

PaaS stands for Platform as a Service, which is like a separate group of servers and resources acting together as one system. It’s used for everything from creating and testing applications to running and managing them.<\/p>\n

Within a PaaS Cluster, you have the Hardware Nodes where virtual isolated containers<\/a> for different environments are set up, and there’s also the Cluster Orchestrator, which manages how all the internal parts work together.<\/p>\n
