3 How to Enable Cloud

This chapter lists the tasks to be performed to enable your IaaS or PaaS Cloud. It contains the following sections:

Enterprise Manager Cloud Deployment Models

Figure 3-1 shows the cloud deployment models supported by Enterprise Manager.

Figure 3-1 Cloud Deployment Models

The sections below list the tasks that need to be performed to set up and use the various cloud deployment models. Apart from these tasks, you must also ensure that the correct plugins have been deployed. For more details on the plugins required, see Supported Plug-ins.

Enabling Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

This section describes the tasks that need to be performed by users with the Super Administrator, EM_CLOUD_ADMINISTRATOR, EM_SSA_ADMINISTRATOR, and EM_SSA_USER roles to setup and use IaaS.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Self Service User Tasks

This section lists the tasks that can be performed for IaaS by users with the following roles:

EM_SSA_USER: Users with this role, by default, can only access the Self Service Portal and all the service families.
EM_SSA_USER_BASE: Users with this role can access the Self Service Portal but will not have access to any service family. Access to a specific IaaS service family must to be explicitly granted to the users with this role. See Creating a Custom Role Based on the EM_SSA_USER_BASE Role for details.
