6. CloudStack – Architecture www.semtech-solutions.co.nz info@semtech-solutions.co.nz
7. CloudStack – How does it work ? • Can group cloud resources into geographic regions • Regions can contain availability zones • A zone contains one or more pods • A pod represents a single rack • A pod contains one or more clusters • A pod contains one or more primary storage servers • See next slide www.semtech-solutions.co.nz info@semtech-solutions.co.nz
