Warning
The DevOps Portal has been deprecated in the Q4`18 MCP release tagged with the 2019.2.0 Build ID.
The Cloud Vector dashboard uses a node graph to represent a cloud environment in a form of a cloud map. The entities that build the map include availability zones (AZs), hosts, VMs, and services. Each host represents a compute node in a particular AZ with all VMs and services running on it. Thereby, a cloud map enables you to easily identify the number of nodes running in your cloud environment.
The screen capture below is an example of a cloud map created by Cloud Vector.
Note
The Cloud Vector dashboard depends on the following services:
DevOps Portal web UI
Cloud Intelligence service
