Resource Pool

A resource pool mainly has the following resources:
  • VM instance: a virtual machine instance created in a compute node.
  • Volume: a data disk used by a VM instance and provides additional storages for the VM instance.
  • Image: an image template used by a VM instance.
  • Affinity group: a simple orchestration strategy for specifying the binding relationship between VM instances and hosts.
  • Instance offering: specifies the VM CPU, memory, I/O bandwidth, and other parameters.
  • Disk offering: specifies the size of a VM data volume.
  • GPU specification: specifies the frame count, RAM, resolution, and other parameters of a GPU device.
  • Auto scaling group: an auto scaling policy based on load balancing for VM instances.
  • Snapshot: a point-in-time capture of data status in a root volume or data volume.
