7.1. Overview of Provisioning Steps

After the Management Server is installed and running, you can add the compute resources for it to manage. For an overview of how a CloudStack cloud infrastructure is organized, see Sezione 1.3.2, «Cloud Infrastructure Overview».
To provision the cloud infrastructure, or to scale it up at any time, follow these procedures:
  1. Define regions (optional). See Sezione 7.2, «Adding Regions (optional)».
  2. Add a zone to the region. See Sezione 7.3, «Adding a Zone».
  3. Add more pods to the zone (optional). See Sezione 7.4, «Adding a Pod».
  4. Add more clusters to the pod (optional). See Sezione 7.5, «Aggiungere un Cluster».
  5. Add more hosts to the cluster (optional). See Sezione 7.6, «Aggiungere un Host».
  6. Add primary storage to the cluster. See Sezione 7.7, «Add Primary Storage».
  7. Add secondary storage to the zone. See Sezione 7.8, «Add Secondary Storage».
  8. Initialize and test the new cloud. See Sezione 7.9, «Initialize and Test».
When you have finished these steps, you will have a deployment with the following basic structure:
