    Article Summary

    Available in VPC

    The following describes how to check and manage the server created from NAVER Cloud Platform console.

    Note
    • Set up redundancy between server zones in order to ensure continuity of service without interruption in the event of unexpected server malfunctions or scheduled change operations. See Load Balancer overview to set up redundancy.
    • NAVER Cloud Platform provides a high availability (HA) structure to prepare for failures in the physical server, such as memory, CPU, and power supply. HA is a policy for preventing hardware failures from expanding into the virtual machine (VM) server. It supports live migration, which automatically migrates the VM on the host server to another secure host server when a failure occurs in the aforementioned host server. However, the VM server is rebooted when an error occurs where live migration can't be initiated. If the service is being operated with a single VM server, set up multiplexing for VM servers as described above to reduce the frequency of failures that may occur as a result of rebooting the VM server.
