Cloudspaces

Cloudspaces are fully isolated virtual environments that provide complete control over your virtual infrastructure. Each cloudspace is a customer-owned layer 2 network with a virtual firewall, where you can deploy and manage virtual machines, vGPUs, networking, load balancers, reverse proxies, backups, DNS, SSL certificates, vTPM, secure boot, and storage. Designed for flexibility, cloudspaces support anti-affinity policies and let you attach both software-defined and direct NVMe storage — giving you the performance and control you need, out of the box.

Key Features

• Bound to a cloud location for optimal performance and compliance
• Isolated layer 2 network ensuring complete security separation
• Flexible firewall options to meet your specific networking needs

Firewall Options

Built-in Firewall Features

• DHCP server for automatic IP assignment
• Cloud init for automated VM configuration
• Port forwards for external access
• Advanced routing capabilities
• VPN access to cloudspace for secure remote connectivity
• Automated VPNs between Cloudspaces (Connected Cloudspaces)

Custom Firewall Support

Any virtualized firewall deployed in a virtual machine can act as the firewall for a cloudspace, giving you complete flexibility in your security architecture.

Network Connectivity

• Support for 0 or more external networks (internet, customer network, etc.)
• Granular control over network access and routing

Ingress and Load Balancing

Server Pools

Organize your services with intelligent server pool management.

Advanced Load Balancing

• Layer 7 Load Balancing:
  • Reverse proxies with SSL offloading
  • Let’s Encrypt support for automatic SSL certificate management
• Layer 3 Load Balancing:
  • TCP load balancers with SSL offloading or pass-through
  • UDP load balancers for specialized applications

Virtual Machines

Deployment Options

Virtual machines are bound to a cloudspace and can be created through multiple methods:

Creation Methods

• Predefined images for quick deployment
• Install from ISO image for custom installations
• Clone from a snapshot for rapid scaling

Import Options

• Veeam backup imports
• Acronis backup imports
• whitesky backup system integration

Storage Solutions

Software Defined Storage

• vDisks based on integrated whitesky software defined storage (not Ceph!)
• Optional NVME local cache for enhanced performance
• Automated vDisk snapshots every hour with configurable retention
• Direct attached NVME for high-demanding IO workloads
• CDRom images for installation and maintenance
• Integrated backup to S3 storage for data protection

Advanced Features

GPU Support

• vGPU support with both virtualized and dedicated GPU options
• Perfect for AI/ML workloads and graphics-intensive applications

Performance Optimization

• CPU pinning for consistent performance
• Custom CPU topologies for specialized workloads
• Anti-affinity groups to ensure high availability

Networking Capabilities

• Default cloudspace network interface (VMs never reachable from outside by default)
• Extra interfaces to other cloudspaces for multi-tier architectures
• Extra interfaces to external networks for hybrid connectivity

Management and Monitoring

• Comprehensive audits for compliance and security
• Dynamic sizing for memory, CPU and vDisks
• Performance stats and spending history for optimization
• Microsoft software licensing overview for compliance management

Automation and Integration

• Cloud init for virtual machine initialization
• Cloud init templates for initializing additional software
• QEMU agent automation for file management and program execution
• VM Template creation for standardized deployments

Migration and Backup

• Import/export via S3 bucket for data portability
• VM copy (whitesky to whitesky) via CLI for easy replication
• Nearly online migration from anywhere to whitesky
• Backup/restore via whitesky Backup for comprehensive data protection
