STACKIT#
Configure the target cloud in two ways: via the UI or via API functions.
To configure the target cloud via the UI, open the ACP. In the right part of the page, above the client list, click the Manage Clouds button. The page displays information about the target clouds. Use the available commands in the Actions menu to configure clouds. To add a cloud, click Add below the table with the list of target clouds.
Select the STACKIT cloud type.
Fill in the fields on the Basic Parameters tab by providing information about the cloud configuration. Click "?" for field tips.
The table below provides a normative mapping between UI field labels and API parameter names used by Hystax Acura during cloud discovery, replication, and recovery workflows.
| Field name in UI / API | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Cloud name /name |
The cloud name to be displayed in the UI. The name must be unique. | test_cloud |
Project ID /project_id |
Target project ID where replicated workloads will be spun up | 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc |
Service account credentials /service_account |
Cloud service account credentials in JSON format | {"project_id":"12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc","private_key":"-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----..."} |
Organization /organization_id |
Name of the user's organization (to be created together with the user) | example-org |
Availability zone /availability_zone |
Availability zone where all resources will be created | eu01-az1 |
Hystax Service Network /cloud_agent_network |
Network in which the Hystax cloud agent is deployed. Should be the same or routable to the network in which a Hystax Acura instance is located. | provider |
| Replication storage type / - |
Choose storage type to use for replicated data. Migration and recovery from cloud-native block storage is fastest, but the other storage types can be cheaper. Detailed description. | Cloud-native block storage |
| Secondary replication storage type / - |
Secondary replication storage type Choose secondary storage type to use for replicated data. If chosen, data will be written to both storages simultaneously. | Not provided |
If necessary, add information about additional parameters. To do this, go to the Additional Parameters tab, select the required parameter, and enter its value. The tooltip system works similarly to the Basic Parameters tab. Description of additional parameters:
| Field name in UI / API | Description |
|---|---|
Add qemu_agent meta /add_qemu_agent_meta |
Insert qemu_agent meta parameters into metadata of volumes created by Acura |
Cloud site parallel resources limit /cloud_site_parallel_resources_limit |
How many resources of the same type are allowed to be created in parallel during Cloud Site creation |
Cloud site timeout /cloud_site_timeout_min |
Cloud site creation timeout in minutes |
Cloud agent capacity /max_assigned_volumes |
Set this to override cloud agent's assignable volumes capacity |
Cloud agent flavor /cloud_agent_flavor |
Flavor to use for the cloud agent instances |
Cloud agent flavor requirements /cloud_agent_flavor_requirements |
Requirements for cloud agent flavor in JSON format, for example: {"cpu": "value", "ram": "value", "hdd": "value"} |
Cloud agent image id /cloud_agent_image_name |
Id of the cloud agent image from the target cloud |
Cloud agent security group /cloud_agent_security_group |
Security group used by Cloud Agents |
Cloud agent volume type /cloud_agent_volume_type |
Cloud agent volume type |
Enable ransomware protection /enable_ransomware_check |
Detect and suspend machines with abnormally large incremental replication size to mitigate possible ransomware impact. |
Insert os_tag key /os_tag_key |
Name of tag containing description of OS installed on device which will be inserted into metadata of volumes created by Acura |
Key pair name /key_name |
Key pair name to access the cloud agent |
Minimal count of cloud agents /min_ca_alive |
Minimum count of cloud agents which should stay alive according scaling policy |
P2V type /p2v_type |
In this field, you can specify a non-standard P2V - for example, for cloud "Virtuozzo, you need to specify "virtuozzo" |
Ransomware protection threshold /ransomware_threshold |
Ransomware protection threshold (in percent). Defines the maximum permissible size of incremental replication relative to the latest full backup. Exceeding this threshold triggers automatic machine suspension. |
Region /region_name |
Target region name |
Replicated volume type /failover_volume_type |
Default volume type used to create volumes for replicated VMs |
Security group /security_group |
Name of the security group with all required ports opened |
Send replication data to cloud agent directly /use_receiver_mesh |
Check this box to send replication data directly to cloud agent, it can increase replication speed. |
Use cloud-native UEFI /use_native_efi |
By default, all UEFI VMs are automatically converted to boot through BIOS. Set this parameter to disable conversion and use cloud-native UEFI boot instead. Please note, that some clouds support BIOS boot only and require this parameter to be disabled. |
Use https server on cloud agent /cloud_agent_https |
When this option is enabled, the cloud agent starts with an https server. This option will not be applied to existing agents, only to new ones. |
Use public IP for cloud agent /use_ca_floating_ip |
Cloud Agent will be created with public IP and Acura will use public IP to connect to Cloud Agent |
