Com o gerenciamento de máquina virtual (VMs) do appliance isolado do Google Distributed Cloud (GDC), é possível provisionar e implantar
VMs e gerenciar cada uma delas durante o ciclo de vida.
O VM Manager tem as seguintes áreas:
Ciclo de vida da VM:
provisione e gerencie VMs de formato e tamanho arbitrários usando
comandos kubectl, a API, a CLI do Distributed Cloud ou o console do GDC.
Gerenciamento de imagens:
use uma imagem de sistema operacional (SO) fornecida pelo appliance isolado do GDC ou
uma imagem personalizada do SO. É possível criar imagens personalizadas do SO com base em uma imagem fornecida ou na sua própria imagem.
Agente do SO convidado:
gerencie o acesso e a capacidade de observação da VM. Forneça pacotes da ferramenta avançada de pacotes (APT)
com as dependências deles para suas VMs.
Rede:
integre-se à rede de dispositivos isolados do GDC para manter endereços IP
de entrada e saída estáveis.
Armazenamento:
acesso a discos de inicialização ou secundários duráveis, snapshots de disco e backups de máquinas
por meio de integração estreita com o armazenamento.
Conjuntos de instruções de VM
As instruções neste conjunto de documentação são apresentadas para a CLI kubectl, o
console do GDC, a CLI gdcloud ou a API, conforme aplicável. Em
casos em que apenas kubectl ou o console do GDC estão disponíveis, o
conjunto de instruções reflete esse status. Por exemplo, se um recurso for compatível apenas com
dois dos três conjuntos de instruções, você verá apenas esses dois conjuntos.
