Compute

../../_images/infra_compute_header_5.4.3.png

Note

The Infrastructure Hosts page from previous versions has been renamed to Compute and updated with Container and Resource sections.

The Infrastructure > Compute section provides a universal stage for viewing and managing Hosts, Virtual Machines, Containers, Resources, and Bare Metal across Clouds.

In this section you can:

  • View & Manage and Hosts, Virtual Machines, Containers, Resources, Bare Metal and Hypervisors

  • Add manual Virtual Machines and Bare Metal Hosts

  • Convert Hosts, Virtual Machines and Bare Metal to Managed

Hosts

../../_images/infra_compute_header_hosts_5.3.1.png

Hosts in Morpheus are Hypervisors and Container hosts that VMs and Containers are hosted on, such as ESXi Hosts and Kubernetes Master and Workers. These hosts are populated from integrated clouds, hosts and clusters provisioned from Morpheus, or manually added hosts.

Provisioning new hosts takes place in the Infrastructure > Clusters section of Morpheus. For example, provisioning a new Docker cluster in that section will begin the process of creating a Morpheus-managed Docker cluster with one host (by default). Additional hosts and custom layouts can also be created. See the Clusters section of Morpheus docs for more information.

Virtual Machines

../../_images/infra_compute_header_vms_5.3.1.png

The Virtual Machines tab lists all managed and unmanaged VMs across Morpheus. Managed VMs are either provisioned by Morpheus, or are inventoried/discovered VMs that have been converted to managed. Unmanaged VMs are typically inventoried/discovered VMs from Cloud integrations.

Containers

../../_images/infra_compute_header_containers_5.3.1.png

The containers tab lists all Containers associated with Morpheus Instances accessible to the user. Note additional system level containers from Kubernetes and Docker Clusters are not listed here but are acceessible in Cluster detail secitons.

Resources

../../_images/infra_compute_header_resources_5.3.1.png

Resources represent objects that do not map to VM or Container types in Morpheus, such as IAC resources from Terraform, Cloudformation or ARM Templates like VPC’s, Gateways, Users, Policies, Brokers, API’s, Endpoints, Directories, ACL’s, Routes… well anything really. All resources created from IAC Templates map to iac provider resource types and Morpheus maintains a resource object record from the mapped resource.

Expand the Resource Types table below to see all Resource types that will be mapped to Resource objects in Morpheus:

Bare Metal

Bare Metal hosts are from discovered, PXE Boot or manually added Bare Metal hosts. Bare Metal hosts that are also Hypervisors will be listed in the Hosts section.
