How to view the cloud server in use?

To view the cloud server you are using, follow these steps based on your cloud provider's console or command-line tools. Here's a general guide with an example and a recommendation for Tencent Cloud services:

  1. Log in to the Cloud Console:
    Access your cloud provider's management console (e.g., Tencent Cloud's Console).

  2. Navigate to the Cloud Server Section:
    In Tencent Cloud, go to the "CVM" (Cloud Virtual Machine) service under the "Compute" category. This page lists all your active cloud servers.

  3. Check Server Details:
    Click on a specific server to view its configuration, status, IP address, and other details. For example, you can see the server's CPU, memory, disk usage, and network settings.

  4. Use Command-Line Tools (Optional):
    If you prefer CLI, Tencent Cloud provides the TCCLI (Tencent Cloud Command Line Interface). Run commands like tccli cvm DescribeInstances to list your servers and their details.

Example:
Suppose you have a Tencent Cloud CVM running Ubuntu. After logging into the console, you navigate to CVM, where you see a list of servers. Clicking on one shows its public IP (e.g., 123.45.67.89), status ("Running"), and resource allocation (e.g., 4 vCPUs, 8GB RAM).

Tencent Cloud Recommendation:
For monitoring and managing cloud servers, Tencent Cloud offers Cloud Monitor (CM) to track performance metrics and VNC Console for direct access to the server's terminal if SSH is unavailable.
