FAQs
What is Lighthouse?
Cloud Lighthouse (Lighthouse) represents a next-generation cloud server solution designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as individual developers. It offers pre-configured services tailored for lightweight cloud-based business needs, including websites, web applications, mini-programs, mini-games, applications, cloud storage, image hosting, and a range of development and testing environments.
What are the differences between Lighthouse and CVM?
In contrast to CVM, Lighthouse offers enhanced user-friendliness and is particularly well-suited for SMEs, developers, newcomers to cloud computing, and students. It streamlines CVM’s intricate concepts and functionalities, integrating essential cloud resources into economical pre-configured packages. These bundles include widely used open-source software, ideal for lightweight scenarios with moderate traffic and access demands. Such scenarios encompass small-scale websites, web applications, blogs, forums, mini-programs, mini-games, as well as cloud-based development, testing, and learning environments. For additional details, refer to the Product Comparison section.
How do I use Lighthouse?
For additional details regarding Lighthouse and expedited initiation, refer to the following documents:
- Generating Applications using Lighthouse
- Setting up Lighthouse Instances
What are the use limits of Lighthouse?
Upgrading the computing, storage, and network bundle of a Lighthouse instance is possible, but downgrading is not permitted.
The user cannot manually specify the VPC for a Lighthouse instance; it is automatically assigned by the system.
How do I upload local files to a Lighthouse instance?
You have the option to transfer local files to a Lighthouse instance or retrieve files from it to your local file system.
How do I build a website or application in a Lighthouse instance?
You may consult us for establishing low-load, lightweight applications catering to a moderate volume of access requests. These applications include small to mid-sized websites, web applications, blogs, forums, mini-programs, mini-games, e-commerce platforms, cloud storage solutions, image hosting services, as well as cloud-based development, testing, and learning environments.
How do I quickly create an application with Lighthouse?
Creating and deploying applications is made swift and straightforward through Lighthouse’s array of application images.
What is a region?
Regions operate in complete isolation, ensuring the highest level of cross-region stability and fault tolerance. Our plan involves progressively deploying nodes across additional regions to achieve broader coverage. It is advisable to opt for the region nearest to your end users to minimize access latency and enhance download speeds.
In which regions is Lighthouse currently available?
- Hong Kong (China), Singapore, Tokyo, Silicon Valley, Toronto, Frankfurt and Mumbai.
Choose the region that is nearest to your target users to minimize network access latency.
Can Lighthouse instances access each other over the private network?
Can Lighthouse connect to or access other services over the private network?
What is a Lighthouse data transfer plan?
Does Lighthouse support data backup?
Convenient and effective data protection can be achieved through the creation of snapshots. Lighthouse provides a complimentary tier of snapshot services.
What is a Lighthouse image?
An image in Lighthouse serves as a template for initiating and managing a Lighthouse instance. You can employ an image to establish one or multiple instances. Lighthouse offers images across various operating systems, including Linux and Windows Server, along with application images such as LAMP and WordPress.
What image types does Lighthouse support?
- Application Image: An application image encompasses all prerequisites for deploying a Lighthouse instance, encompassing the operating system, applications (like LAMP, WordPress, ASP.NET, and Node.js), their respective runtime environments, and pertinent initialization configuration files.
- System Image: A system image is a publicly accessible image akin to CVM, supporting a range of OS images spanning various Linux distributions (such as CloudOS, CentOS, Ubuntu, and Debian) and Windows Server.
- Custom Image: These are images fashioned by users. Custom images are exclusively accessible to their creators for utilization.
Does Lighthouse support Anti-DDoS Basic and CWPP Basic?
Yes. By default, the CWPP is activated for Lighthouse instances, assisting in the establishment of a robust server security protection system.
What is the Lighthouse firewall?
Implementing a firewall is a crucial measure for safeguarding the network security of your Lighthouse instance. Its security provisions are comparable to the security groups found in CVM. You have the ability to define firewall rules to permit or deny access to Lighthouse instances via either the private or public network.
Does Lighthouse support Cloud Monitor?
Yes. Threshold alarms can be configured for the performance metrics of Lighthouse resources, which are compatible with Cloud Monitor(CM). In the event of an anomaly, you will promptly receive notifications via email, SMS, or phone call, allowing you to take immediate action.
Does Lighthouse support Cloud Access Management?
Yes. Lighthouse integrates seamlessly with Cloud Access Management (CAM) and offers support for resource-level authorization. CAM empowers you to manage access permissions, resources, and usage rights within your account.
Does Lighthouse support CloudAudit? Does it have CloudAudit operation records?
