Origin Cloud
What the platform can do, written for someone calling the GraphQL API or
the origin CLI — not for someone reading the source. Five
service guides, each covering the capabilities you can use and the parts
of the platform's own process you need in order to automate around it.
- 01
Compute
Run virtual machines on Origin Cloud: image families, instance types, sizing the root disk, the instance lifecycle and its eight status values, health checks, and attaching volumes.
- 02
Storage
Manage Origin Cloud volumes and snapshots: the gp1 storage class, resizing without a restart, quota, the volume-to-snapshot-to-image flow, and importing a disk image.
- 03
Network
VPCs, subnets, route tables, NAT gateways, Internet Gateways, network ACLs, security groups and Floating IPs on Origin Cloud, and how the two traffic-control layers combine.
- 04
IAM
Control who can do what on Origin Cloud: registering an organisation, principals, built-in roles, org-wide and per-project grants, service accounts and the audit log.
- 05
Observability
Query CPU, network and disk metrics for your Origin Cloud instances, volumes and network interfaces, and understand RATE versus INCREASE statistics.
