Cloud/Operations Management

Setting up and managing cloud resources on Ananta Cloud Console follows a highly intuitive approach that is built on UX principles of modern-day software. The Cloud Console user journeys are simple, visual and information-rich which makes managing cloud resources extremely delightful.

The general guidelines to follow when using the Ananta Cloud Console to manage cloud resources:

• The Cloud Console dashboard is always accessible in one click (by clicking on Dashboard while in the cloud management view, or by 'closing' the Account Centre view) . This ensures that it's always easy to restart an experience.
• The experience is split into 2 clear divisions (cloud resource management and account management). This ensures complete focus and very low cognitive load as part of the user experience.
• The main navigation bar lists all available services, allowing users to access them with a single click from any section in the cloud management view. This ensures easy access and seamless navigation, making it simple to restart any sub-experience. The Account Centre follows the same approach, enabling users to reach all available sections with a single click.
• Resource/Service management follows the same UX pattern everywhere and all purchased/provisioned resources can be accessed in the same way, regardless of the Service. This design ensures consistency and predictability in the user experience.
• Custom links that include external knowledge bases, videos and media, and other rich information on how to use Ananta is always available in the cloud management view. Similarly, commercial information (such as privacy policy, SLA, EULA etc.) is always available in the Account Centre view. This design ensures that information is strategically provided on the Cloud Console interface.
