What Is a CVD Instance?
Cloud Virtual Desktop (CVD) is an efficient, flexible, and secure cloud-based virtual desktop service. It allows you to quickly build a cloud desktop office system without significant upfront capital investment or lengthy deployment time.
Does CVD Offer a Free Trial?
The CVD product is available only to verified users and does not support free trials for now. What Specifications Does CVD Offer?
CVD offers diverse combination options for computing resources (vCPU and memory) and storage resources (system disks and data disks). CVD instances come in diverse specifications, allowing you to choose the computing power and storage space, flexibly selecting appropriate resources for your target scenarios.
How Does CVD Billing Work?
CVD supports yearly/monthly subscription and pay-as-you-go billing modes.
Yearly/monthly subscription is a prepaid mode that requires a one-time upfront payment for one month, multiple months, or even multiple years.
Pay-as-you-go is a postpaid billing mode. Pay-as-you-go CVD instances support no charge during shutdown. When an instance is shut down while retaining its configuration, the system automatically reclaims its computing resources (vCPU, memory, and GPU). During this period, you are not charged for computing resources, only for the storage resources (system and data disks). This helps reduce your costs.
Which Regions Does the CVD Service Support?
The CVD service supports the Singapore region. Other regions will be gradually available. If you require more regions, contact our sales team in advance. For more information, see Use Limits. Does CVD Support Private Deployment?
Can a CVD Instance Be Deleted After Creation?
Yes, you can delete or refund a CVD instance. Once the instance status changes to Deleting or Deleted, no further fees related to the instance will be incurred. After a pay-as-you-go instance is deleted, all data will be cleared and unrecoverable. Inform end users to back up their data in advance. For more information, see Deleting or Refunding CVD Instances . How Do I Create a User?
You can manage users in the Tencent Cloud IDaaS console. After you navigate to the Tencent Cloud IDaaS console, select Create User and enter information such as the name (displayed name), username (login account), primary email (email address for account activation), and department. The user will receive an account activation email. After activation, the user can log in to the CVD portal using the account credentials. For more information, see User Management. How Do I Assign CVD Instances?
On the Desktop List page, select the CVD instances to be assigned and click Bind User to assign them to end users. The CVD instances should be in the Unassigned and Running status. For more information, see Binding Users. Does the CVD System Support Binding Multiple Users to the Same CVD Instance?
The current version does not support binding multiple users to the same CVD instance.
How Do I Create Custom Policies in CVD?
What Is the Limit on the Number of CVD Policies?
Each account has a quota of 10 policies in total (including default policies). If you require more CVD policy quotas, contact our sales team.
Does CVD Login Support Two-Factor Authentication?
Yes, CVD login supports two-factor authentication, although it is disabled by default. To enable it, submit a ticket to contact the CVD product team for assistance. Which Peripherals Does CVD Support?
When you use peripherals, ensure that the peripheral redirection policy is enabled. CVD is compatible with most peripherals. However, due to the diversity of peripheral interfaces, drivers, and protocols, submit a ticket if you encounter usage issues. For USB peripherals: Ensure that your terminal has a USB port and that USB redirection is enabled for the CVD instance.
For Bluetooth peripherals: Ensure that your terminal supports Bluetooth.
How Can a CVD Instance Access Data in Other VPC Networks or an On-Premises Data Center?
Before creating a CVD instance, you need to select a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network to place the CVD resources in your dedicated network space on the cloud. This enhances security and meets the requirements for various scenarios. By configuring a peering connection or VPN connection for the VPC network where the CVD resources reside, you can enable the CVD instance to access other VPC networks or an on-premises data center.
Can CVD Instances Access the Internet?
CVD instances access the Internet through a NAT gateway, which can be bound to an elastic IP address (EIP) to provide secure, high-performance Internet access services for instances within a VPC network. When you create the NAT gateway, select the associated VPC network and configure routing rules to point subnet traffic to the NAT gateway. For more information, see Internet Management. Does CVD Support Thin Clients?
You can access the URL of the CVD portal from any supported device (including various terminal devices such as Windows and Mac) and via HTML5 in browsers (such as Chrome and Firefox web browsers). CVD supports access through thin clients. For more information, consult our sales team.
Does CVD Support API Calls?
CVD APIs have not been officially released to the public. For some API capabilities, see API Overview. If required for specific business scenarios, they can be provided on a project basis. For related inquiries, contact Tencent Cloud technical consultants.
