Virtual private cloud services with physical machine servers and virtual machines
Systems and methods provided herein are directed to providing both physical machine servers and virtual machines for public cloud virtual private cloud (VPC) services, which allow a user of the public cloud VPC services to selectively run an application on a physical machine server instead of a virtual machine.
1. A system for a virtual private cloud service, the system comprising:
a physical machine (PM) cluster including a group of PM servers, the group of PM servers connected to a PM group virtual switch, the group of PM servers including a plurality of PM servers;

a public cloud virtual private cloud (VPC) controller communicatively coupled to the PM cluster and the ECS cluster, the public cloud VPC controller configured to:
control the PM group virtual switch and the VM virtual switches,
select, via the PM group virtual switch, at least one PM server of the plurality of PM servers in the PM cluster for running an application by creating the PM cluster from a preselected group of VM servers in the ECS cluster based on a user input and designating the preselected group of VM servers as the group of PM servers and each VM server of the preselected group of VM servers as a PM server,
disconnect each VM server of a preselected group of VM servers from a corresponding VM virtual switch, and
connect the group of PM servers of the PM cluster to the PM group virtual switch to run the application on the at least one PM server.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the group of PM servers is a first group of a plurality of groups of PM servers in the PM cluster, each group of PM servers connected to a corresponding group virtual switch, each group of PM servers comprises a plurality of PM servers.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a user interface (UI) communicatively coupled to the public cloud VPC controller, the UI configured to receive the user input indicative of the application to be run on a PM server,
wherein the public cloud VPC controller is further configured to select the at least one PM server based on the user input for running the application.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the public cloud VPC controller is further configured to cause the group of PM servers to connect to the PM group virtual switch based on the user input indicative of the application to be run on a PM server.
5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the UI is further configured to receive a user input without an indication of the application to be run on a PM server, and
wherein public cloud VPC the controller is further configured to select at least one VM server of the plurality of VM servers in the ECS cluster based on the user input to run the application in a VM, the VM comprising the at least one VM server of the ECS cluster.
6. A method comprising:
connecting a group of physical machine (PM) servers of a PM cluster to a PM group virtual switch;
controlling the PM group virtual switch and a plurality of virtual machine (VM) virtual switches, a VM virtual switch connected to a corresponding VM server of a plurality of VM servers in an elastic compute service (ECS) cluster;
selecting, via the PM group virtual switch, at least one PM server of the plurality of PM servers in the PM cluster for running an application by creating the PM cluster from a preselected group of VM servers in the ECS cluster based on a user input and designating the preselected group of VM servers as the group of PM servers and each VM server of the preselected group of VM servers as a PM server,
disconnecting each VM server of a preselected group of VM servers from a corresponding VM virtual switch, and
connecting the group of PM servers of the PM cluster to the PM group virtual switch to run the application on the selected at least one PM server.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the group of PM servers is a first group of a plurality of groups of PM servers in the PM cluster, each group of PM servers connected to a corresponding group virtual switch, each group of PM servers comprises a plurality of PM servers.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
prior to connecting the group of PM servers of the PM cluster to the PM group virtual switch, receiving a user input indicative of the application to be run on a PM server; and
selecting the at least one PM server based on the user input for running the application.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein connecting the group of PM servers to the PM group virtual switch is based on the user input indicative of the application to be run on a PM server.
10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving a user input without an indication of the application to be run on a PM server, and
selecting at least one VM server of the plurality of VM servers in the ECS cluster based on the user input to run the application in a VM, the VM comprising the at least one VM server of the ECS cluster.
11. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions executable by one or more processors, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
connecting a group of physical machine (PM) servers of a PM cluster to a PM group virtual switch;
controlling the PM group virtual switch and a plurality of virtual machine (VM) virtual switches, a VM virtual switch connected to a corresponding VM server of a plurality of VM servers in an elastic compute service (ECS) cluster;
selecting, via the PM group virtual switch, at least one PM server of the plurality of PM servers in the PM cluster for running an application by creating the PM cluster from a preselected group of VM servers in the ECS cluster based on a user input and designating the preselected group of VM servers as the group of PM servers and each VM server of the preselected group of VM servers as a PM server;
disconnecting each VM server of a preselected group of VM servers from a corresponding VM virtual switch; and
connecting the group of PM servers of the PM cluster to the PM group virtual switch to run the application on the at least one PM server.
12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the group of PM servers is a first group of a plurality of groups of PM servers in the PM cluster, each group of PM servers connected to a corresponding group virtual switch, each group of PM servers comprises a plurality of PM servers.
13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
prior to connecting the group of PM servers of the PM cluster to the PM group virtual switch, receiving a user input indicative of the application to be run on a PM server; and
selecting the at least one PM server based on the user input for running the application.
14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 13 , wherein connecting the group of PM servers to the PM group virtual switch is based on the user input indicative of the application to be run on a PM server.
15. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving a user input without an indication of the application to be run on a PM server; and
selecting at least one VM server of the plurality of VM servers in the ECS cluster based on the user input to run the application in a VM, the VM comprising the at least one VM server of the ECS cluster.
