1, with cross-cloud, hybrid cloud management capabilities;
2, with heterogeneous resource management capabilities;
3, with resource lifecycle management capabilities;
4, with resource monitoring, security alarm capability;
5, with resource cost analysis, statistics, optimization capabilities;
6, DevOps comprehensive support capabilities;
Third, the cloud platform of choice tube
How do we choose cloud tube platform? A good cloud tube platform should have the following characteristics:
1, can be realized cloudy, hybrid cloud management.
