Manage the operation state of cloud hosts

Perform this task to start, shut down, restart, suspend, restore, or destroy cloud hosts.

·          To destroy cloud hosts, a common user must submit a request. Once the request is approved, the system automatically destroys the cloud hosts.

·          A destroyed cloud host cannot be restored and services running on that cloud host will be interrupted. Please perform this task with caution. As a best practice, destroy a cloud host only when necessary and back up data before the operation.

Synchronize cloud host state

Perform this task to synchronize the latest states of cloud hosts from the virtualization platform (for example, CVM or VCenter) to UIS Cloud.

  1. On the top navigation bar, click Cloud Services.

  1. From the left navigation pane, select Compute & Storage > Cloud Hosts.
