Modify the configurations of a cloud computer pool - WUYING Workspace

The configurations of a cloud computer pool determine the settings and scaling policy of cloud computers in the pool. If the configurations of a cloud computer pool no longer meet your business requirements, you can modify the configurations, including the cloud computer pool name, cloud computer template, security policy, and scaling policy. This topic describes how to modify the configurations of a cloud computer pool.

Prerequisites

If you want to change the cloud computer template and the security policy that are associated with your cloud computer pool, make sure that the following operations are complete:

A cloud computer template is created, or an existing cloud computer template is used. For information about how to create a cloud computer template, see Create custom cloud computer templates.
A security policy is created, or an existing security policy is used. For more information about how to create a security policy, see Create a security policy.

Background information

After you create a cloud computer pool, the system creates a specific number of cloud computers based on the scaling policy that you configured for the cloud computer pool and the number of end users who request to connect to cloud computers. Cloud computers in the cloud computer pool are created by using the same cloud computer template and security policy. You can modify the configurations of the cloud computer pool based on your business requirements to manage cloud computers in the cloud computer pool in a centralized manner. For example, you can perform the following operations for better cloud computer management:

By default, the names of cloud computers in a cloud computer pool are the same as the name of the cloud computer pool. You can change the cloud computer pool name to distinguish between the cloud computer pool and the cloud computers.
If the number of vCPUs and the memory size of cloud computers in the cloud computer pool no longer meet your business requirements, you can update the cloud computer template.
If the security policy that is associated with your cloud computer pool no longer meets security requirements, you can change the security policy.
Note
You can also modify the configurations of the existing security policy. For more information, see Modify, clone, or delete a policy.
If the number of cloud computers in your cloud computer pool no longer meets the requirements of end users, you can modify related settings.
If the reset type of your cloud computer pool no longer meets your business requirements, you can change the reset type settings.
You can configure scheduled start and stop tasks that are performed at specific time points based on your business requirements.
