What is Hybrid Cloud Management?

• ECS Instance: An elastic compute service (ECS) instance is a VM instance created on Alibaba Cloud.
• Disk: A disk provides storage space for an ECS instance created on Alibaba Cloud.
• Image: An image is a template file that is used to create ECS instances. Images are categorized into custom images and Alibaba Cloud images.
• Security Group: A security group provides security control services for ECS instances on the L3 network. It filters the inbound or outbound packets of ECS instances based on security rules.
• VPC: A virtual private cloud (VPC) is a private network dedicated for ECS instances created on Alibaba Cloud.
• EIP: An elastic IP address (EIP) is an IP address in Alibaba Cloud public networks. You can attach EIPs to ECS instances so that the ECS instances can access public networks by using the EIPs.

• VPN Gateway: A virtual private network (VPN) gateway establishes a secure connection between a local data center and Alibaba Cloud VPC by using an encrypted channel.
• VPN Customer Gateway: A VPN customer gateway provides services for a local data center.
• VPN Connection: A VPN connection is an encrypted communication channel established between a VPN gateway and VPN customer gateway.

• Router Interface: A router interface is a virtual device that is used to establish communication channels and control their status.
• Virtual Border Router: A virtual border router (VBR) is virtualized from a physical switch port on the access point of Alibaba Cloud. It forwards the data on the physical circuit to Alibaba Cloud VPC.

• File System: A file system is a backend storage system used for Alibaba Cloud NAS primary storage. Before you add an AliyunNAS primary storage, you need to add an NAS file system.
• Permission Group: A permission group is an allowlist of IP addresses or IP ranges which can access file systems according to specified permission rules.

• Region: A region is a physical data center. A region in ZStack Cloud Hybrid Cloud corresponds to a region in Alibaba Cloud.
• Zone: A zone is a physical area in a region that is independent from other zones in the region in terms of electricity and network supplies.

• AccessKey Management: An AccessKey pair is an identity credential that has access to APIs of Alibaba Cloud or Private Alibaba Cloud. It has full access to the Cloud. An AccessKey pair consists of AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret.
• Hybrid Cloud Settings: Hybrid cloud settings allow you to configure settings that take effect on the whole platform.
