Compute Engine / IaaS
All it takes to add resources to your server in the Compute Engine is the operation of a slider. The Data Center Designer (DCD) graphic interface lets you increase the fine-grain power of the cores and RAM.
This is possible as you are working inside a Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). The capacities for your virtual data centre are sourced within the physical data centre's complete hardware pool. This software control means we can deploy fresh capacities in real time, whenever you need them. The procedure allows vertical scaling on the fly, so the addition of new CPU cores and more RAM. You can add up to 62 cores and 240 GB of RAM (AMD CPUs) for each VM, i.e. 27 Cores and 120 GB RAM (Intel CPUs).
You are not reliant on the Data Center Designer (DCD) in order to manage your virtual data centre. Our Cloud-REST-API means you can access the entire configuration, even without the graphic user interface. For instance you can write scripts to automate your scaling: So you can throttle the system performance at night to release capacities that you do not need. An effective way to save money. In our DevOps community, you will find a large number of micro-services that let you automate your infrastructure just the way you need it.
