CloudRaya Service Overview

This page provides a high level overview of the core services available in CloudRaya. It introduces the major product categories and explains how Compute, Storage, Networking, and Platform Tools work together to support different types of workloads.

The goal of this overview is to help users understand the role of each product before exploring detailed documentation and configuration guides.

Service Categories

CloudRaya services are grouped into four main categories based on their roles in supporting workloads:

• Compute
  Products for running applications and processing workloads.

• Storage
  Products for storing operating system disks, application data, and container images.

• Networking
  Products for connectivity, traffic control, and secure access.

• Platform Tools
  Products that support deployment, management, and operational workflows.

Each category plays a specific role, and together they form the foundation for building and operating environments on CloudRaya.

Compute Services

Compute services provide the execution layer for applications and workloads.

Virtual Machine

Virtual Machine provides general purpose compute resources. Users can select resource specifications such as CPU, memory, and storage, then deploy operating systems and applications on top of these instances.

KubeRaya

KubeRaya provides a managed Kubernetes environment for running containerized applications. It is designed for workloads that require scaling, rolling updates, and automated container orchestration.

Together, these products form the core execution layer for applications running on CloudRaya.

---

Storage Services

Storage services provide persistent data storage that is independent from compute resources.

VM Storage

VM Storage is block storage attached to CloudRaya Virtual Machines. It is used for operating systems, application binaries, and data that must be available at the disk level for the instance.

StorageRaya

StorageRaya is an S3 compatible object storage product for unstructured data, including backups, logs, media files, and application assets. Data is accessed over the network using APIs or compatible tools.

CloudRaya Container Registry

CloudRaya Container Registry stores container images used by KubeRaya and other container based workloads. It integrates with StorageRaya and Compute services to support build and deployment pipelines.

My OS Template

My OS Template allows users to create custom operating system images from existing CloudRaya Virtual Machine snapshots. These templates can be used to provision new CloudRaya Virtual Machines with the same base configuration and installed software.

Storage services ensure that data remains available even when compute resources are stopped or replaced.

Networking Services

Networking services control how resources connect to each other and to external networks.

VPC Network

VPC Network provides private virtual networks for creating isolated environments. Resources inside a VPC can communicate with each other over internal IP addresses, while remaining separated from other networks.

Public IP

Public IP assigns external IP addresses to CloudRaya resources, enabling access from the internet or other external networks.

VPN Network

VPN Network provides secure encrypted connectivity that allows devices or external networks to access private CloudRaya networks. This is commonly used for administrators or systems that need private access to CloudRaya Virtual Machines and internal services.

Load Balancer

Load Balancer distributes traffic across multiple CloudRaya resources to improve availability and reliability. It is commonly placed in front of application instances to provide a single entry point.

SSH Key

SSH Key provides key based authentication for secure access to CloudRaya Virtual Machines. It is used instead of or in addition to password based login.

---

Platform Tools

Platform Tools provide supporting products for application deployment and infrastructure management.

DNS Bucket

DNS Bucket offers centralized DNS management for domains from multiple providers. It is used to configure DNS records that point to CloudRaya resources such as CloudRaya Virtual Machines and Load Balancers.

CloudRaya Marketplace

Marketplace is a unified, account-level hub for deploying platform workloads and procuring services. It supports the following product categories:

• Serverless Containers
  One-click deployment of container-based applications as pod-based workloads, such as WordPress, PocketBase, and Moodle, without requiring manual infrastructure provisioning.

• Third-Party Applications
  Access to externally managed solutions, including services such as Zimbra and Acronis, integrated into the CloudRaya account and billing environment.

• Licenses
  Procurement and management of service licenses, such as SSL certificates and cPanel licenses, directly from the Marketplace platform.

Managed Services

Manage Services covers managed infrastructure and operational assistance, allowing users to offload certain management tasks to the CloudRaya team where applicable.

Platform Tools simplify common operational tasks and help users accelerate deployment workflows.

How the Services Work Together

In a typical CloudRaya environment:

1. Compute products run the application logic using Virtual Machines and KubeRaya.
2. Storage products provide persistent data and container image storage through VM Storage, StorageRaya, and CloudRaya Container Registry.
3. Networking products control access, connectivity, and traffic distribution across private and public networks.
4. Platform Tools assist with deployment, DNS management, and operational support.

By combining these products, users can design environments for development, staging, and production workloads according to their requirements.

Summary

CloudRaya Service Overview introduces the main product categories and their roles within the platform. This structure helps users understand how different CloudRaya products are organized before accessing detailed documentation for each individual service.
