HUAWEI CLOUD cloud server evaluation｜First impressions of returning old users
foreword
其实笔者接触华为云已经很久了，第一次使用的云服务器就是华为云。当时还是刚接触计算机，兴致勃勃想自己做个网站。然后就开动起来，租服务器，搞域名备案等等都是在华为云完成的，但后来因为工作原因，自己的网站也不再维护。这次又机缘巧合下，加入了华为云的测评活动，那就让我们一起来看看老用户回归都有哪些体验吧
1. New faces
1. Yunyao Cloud Server
When I bought the server back then, I used it 弹性云服务器ECS. The obvious change this time is to add云耀云服务器
According to the official statement, 云耀云服务器（Hyper Elastic Cloud Server，HECS）it is described as follows:
A new generation of cloud server that can quickly build simple applications, with independent and complete operating system and network functions. It provides rapid application deployment and simple management capabilities, and is suitable for low-load application scenarios such as website construction, development and testing environments, and enterprise applications. It is easy to build, more affordable, easy to maintain and safer.
Umm... very formal, I remember " rapid deployment " and " simple management ", but this is too abstract, is there a more specific description?
2. Server Features
Unwillingly, the author rummaged through the official website for a while, and as expected, I finally found such a picture, which compared Yunyao server with other cloud servers
There are three bright " low ", and the author immediately understands that this Yunyao server is prepared for newcomers. This is very similar to the author's current style. The main point is that the threshold is low and effortless . In fact, there are so many types of servers on the market now, it is difficult for many friends to distinguish the difference between them, and they do not know which one to choose. If it can be listed as intuitively as a table, it will save a lot of trouble. Of course, whether this low threshold of Yunyao is worthy of the name, we will experience it slowly later.
2. Hands-on sensory experience
For general small companies, when choosing a cloud server, you can consider the following factors, such as price, ease of use, security and availability, etc.
1. Value for money
For small businesses, the cost of realizing the business is often very important. And if it is a personal interest, such as when the author wanted to build a personal website, then the estimated cost factor becomes the decisive factor . Let's take a look at Yunyao's price. There are various models, the lowest is 55 yuan/month, this price is just a question of your conscience. Even the author did not have such a low-cost cloud server to choose from back then.
If you want to try something new, the current discount is very humane . The first one for a newcomer is about 20% off or 30% off. It’s not that I haven’t seen a bigger discount. To), can't we actually have some sunshine, no, that's it. The third and fourth are strongly recommended, and it is the most cost-effective to include it for one year or three years.
2. Recommended pagoda panel
The author planned to build a personal mall (follow the tutorial to draw a tiger according to the tutorial). At that time, the processors did not understand other than the parameters, and finally chose the general-purpose windows processor in a daze. So now let me use the cloud server, what will happen?
It can be seen that if you want to use a cloud server now, the homepage will list some scenarios to help you choose the corresponding server type, which is indeed much better than the headless flies at the beginning, then we choose to build a website to try, and you can see it after clicking If it is recommended Linux 可视化 宝塔面板, then we will choose to buy this
You may have heard of the pagoda panel, since it says that it is a mirror image of the pagoda panel, let's configure a port first
Then directly access the public network ip + port of the cloud server. As a result, the login interface of the pagoda was indeed opened.
3. CloudShell login
We have opened the pagoda interface above, but the user name and password are not yet known. Follow its documentation https://support.websoft9.com/docs/user/credentials . We saw that its user and password are placed under /credentials/password.txt . But when the author was about to enter the cloud server to get the password, he discoveredCloudShell登录
After entering the password of the cloud server, open the page directly
hey-hey! As expected, this CloudShelltool is not too convenient, it can be said to be a good news for lazy people. In fact, the author generally uses linux and is really too lazy to type commands, so I use MobaXterm every day because it has a file tree. For people like the author who likes visualization, they can use buttons to solve problems, so they don’t bother to type commands. So here we directly use to CloudShellcopy the password directly, and then go back to log in to the pagoda.
Seeing this interface, the author let out a long sigh of relief, this is considered comfortable, and directly started LNMP .
4. Security
The author pays more attention to security when using cloud services, not only because I want to be a hacker when I was young, so I pay more attention to network security. The most important thing is that the author's cloud server has been hacked, resulting in a sharp increase in usage, and the website can hardly be opened. This is the case of being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of well ropes for ten years, so first set an alarm rule
There is also automatic DDOS protection, the basic functions are built-in, and advanced functions will be charged
It can be seen that the current security settings have indeed improved a lot compared to many years ago. I am going to help the server install the plug-in first.
After installing the plug-in, I found that the security protection can be turned on. The security protection of the basic version is 10 yuan/month, so I can choose it on demand
Of course, if you have a lot of money, you can also do a security scan on the pagoda to repair it with one click, but for the author, some of the default security settings are actually relatively safe.
Summarize
In fact, the author returned to Huawei Cloud, and felt a lot of changes and upgrades after a little experience, and the cost-effective and easy-to-use features of Yunyao server were even more impressive . It is indeed much improved than many years ago. The author used to build the server bit by bit by himself. Now, from login to deployment, the basic platform is completed by pressing a few buttons, which is really different. In the follow-up, the author will continue to experience in depth, and look at the changes of Huawei Cloud over the years from more aspects.
