- The Cloud allows you to copy templates before you create VM instances.
- After you create a VM instance, the Cloud allows you to set or change the relevant IP address.
- The Cloud supports flat networks, vRouter networks, and VPC networks. You can quickly set up flexible and diverse network scenarios as needed with simple clicks in the UI.
- The Cloud can take over vCenter. Specifically, the Cloud can manage both KVM and VMware clusters at the same time. In addition, the Cloud supports the V2V migration of VM instances from vCenter to ZStack.
- The Cloud allows different accounts to see different VM instances.
- The Cloud supports advanced features such as billing.
- You can directly add firewalls to VM instances on the Cloud and set various security policies, which is simple and convenient.
- The Cloud supports advanced features, such as enterprise management, bare metal management, V2V migration, and backup service.
