Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing aspects of identifying and/or deploying hardware of a dedicated cloud to be hosted at a customer location (a “DRCC”). A DRCC may comprise cloud infrastructure components provided by a cloud provider but hosted by computing devices located at the customer's (a “cloud owner's”) location. Services of the central cloud-computing environment may be similarly executed at the DRCC. A number of user interfaces may be hosted within the central cloud-computing. These interfaces may be used to track deployment and region data of the DRCC. A deployment state may be transitioned from a first state to a second state based at least in part on the tracking and the deployment state may be presented at one or more user interfaces. Using the disclosed user interfaces, a user may manage the entire lifecycle of a DRCC and its corresponding hardware components.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing aspects of a dedicated region cloud at a customer location (a “DRCC”). A DRCC may comprise cloud infrastructure components provided by a cloud provider and hosted by computing devices located at the customer's (a “cloud owner's”) location. Services of the central cloud-computing environment may be similarly executed at the DRCC. The DRCC may include a service configured to collect, store, and/or present data corresponding to the cloud infrastructure components via one or more interfaces (e.g., interfaces provided to the cloud provider and/or the cloud owner). Data collected within the DRCC (e.g., capacity and usage data, etc.) may be provided and accessible to the central cloud at any suitable time. Obtaining such data enables the user to ascertain various operational aspects of the DRCC, while enabling the system and/or user to execute various DRCC-specific operations regarding capacity planning, health and performance, change management, and the like.

Abstract: A method generates a graphical portion of a graphical user interface (GUI), the graphical portion concerning aspects of a storage domain. Such a method may include: illustrating a tree hierarchy; including, on the tree hierarchy, a node at a first level corresponding to a set of at least two file systems that are members of the storage domain; and including, on the tree hierarchy, nodes at a second level reporting to the first-level node, each second-level node corresponding to a member of the set of files systems to which the first node corresponds. Related apparatus and machine-readable media having instructions can each include features similar to elements of the method.
