Cloud Management

The Cloud Management page allows you to monitor and manage your personal cloud computing usage within the OneDArT platform. It provides a clear overview of how much has been spent and and how much remains, enabling you to stay within budget and use cloud resources efficiently.

The Personal Cloud Usage section shows:

• Budget: Your total budget

• Spent/Remaining: The total you have spent and the total you have remaining (together should equal the budget)

Instance Management​

Instance management helps you stay within budget while ensuring your cloud resources are used efficiently. This includes:

• View the start time and how long an instance has been running

• Start an instance when you need to use it

• Stop an instance when it’s no longer needed

• Set or edit schedules to automatically control instance runtime

Starting/Stopping an Instance​

You can start and stop an instance manually from the Cloud Management page at any time. This enables you to have more control of the resources that you use with OneDArT.

To check if an instance is running, just check the Time Running column of the Instance list. If the instance is running, it will display the uptime. Any instance that is not running will say Instance Stopped. The green row of a running instance and the red row of a stopped instance are also an indicator.

Simply select the Start or Stop buttons on the relevant instance to start or stop it.

Scheduling Instances​

Automating the uptime of your instance can also save you time, effort, and resources.

The example below shows a schedule that starts at 9AM on Mondays and stops at 6PM on any day it is active.

Setting a Schedule​

1. Select the Set Schedule button. The window will show the active schedule and scheduling options.

2. Choose an instance start time. This can include a date, time, and day. Leave any field blank if it is not relevant.

3. Choose an instance stop time. This can include a date, time, and day. Leave any field blank if it is not relevant.

4. Select the Submit button to confirm your selection.

Create Multiple Schedules​

1. Select the Edit Schedule button for an instance to repoen the scheduler.

2. Select Add button (the plus) on the top-right of the window then complete the previous steps.

3. You can select the Left and Right arrows to view your saved schedules. Navigate to a schedule to make it the active schedule.
