Overview of AliCloud host management panel functions and creating snapshot backups

Lao Zuo also got an AliCloud VPS host a few days ago. After he got started, he wrote a review article and didn't want to build a website or waste it. So he asked whether he could write more articles that people often use so that users can use them later. Lao Zuo has seen that the Alibaba Cloud host background management panel is still relatively powerful, and the security is also relatively high. For example, every time the password is changed, the account information will be sent by email and SMS synchronously to ensure the security of our account.

This article was originally intended to write about attaching a hard disk. Since I bought the 20GB hard disk by default, I didn't buy any extra, so I didn't need to attach it, nor was I prepared to waste extra money to write this article. This article is used to share and introduce Alibaba Cloud host background interface overview and their good snapshot backup functions.

Background interface overview

Generally, we will purchase ECS products. Here I have one. There are many other products, such as cloud monitoring, load balancing SLB, relational database RDS, open storage service OSS, content distribution network CDN, and so on.

It can be seen that we have one machine in Qingdao in four data centers of all Alibaba Cloud hosts, so there is 1, and then click all the machines to see the list.

Here you can see the configuration and IP of our machine. You can also restart the machine, change the password, and renew the service. If we need to reinstall the system, we need to stop the instance of the current machine first, and then enter the instance to reinstall the system.

Snapshot backup function

Alibaba Cloud specific (some other VPS vendors also have) snapshot backup function is very good. We can back up data for our VPS after logging in.

At present, snapshot backup is free. After creation, we can see it in "All Snapshots". If you need to restore, you can directly click the corresponding "Rollback Snapshot" to restore data. This function is quite good.

I talked about a lot of words. The Chinese interface of the management background is relatively simple. Literate people can understand it. If they need to buy or see the performance evaluation, they can read it“ Complete AliCloud ECS successful purchase tutorial and ECS VPS performance evaluation "At present, new users can get 20 yuan vouchers.
