Resource types managed by AOC

AOC supports resource types related to the associated clusters, including hardware resources, virtualization resources, network resources, and storage resources. Additionally, AOC can manage resources uniformly across data centers, clusters, and availability zones in active-active clusters. Therefore, data centers, clusters, and availability zones are also defined as resource types in AOC to facilitate search and differentiation.

Furthermore, AOC allows for exporting alert rules, reports, and statistical results, which are also defined as resources.

The relationships between all resource types managed by AOC and their compatible cluster types are outlined as follows.

AOC provides global search for multiple resource types in the top search box as shown in the table above, helping you quickly locate target resource objects.

For certain resource types, AOC also supports associating resource objects with labels, which helps you easily categorize and filter them. For cross-cluster resource types like VM templates and ISO images, you can share them among clusters using the content library.
