The self-service portal for clients of cloud solutions is implemented through the functionality of VMmanager and BILLmanager products ecosystem. In each of the products the user has a client area. For more details about client area in VMmanager, refer to Account setup, in BILLmanager — to Client area.
Role-based access is implemented in BILLmanager, and clients can order various services in their client area:
- virtual machines (VMs);
- containers;
- virtual networks;
- IP addresses;
- backup space;
- available guest OS images;
- software to be installed.
VMmanager provides role-based access to the virtual infrastructure delegated to the user and offers a graphical interface for administration.
