General-purpose cloud architectures are often considered scenarios for starting a cloud implementation, which is designed to balance all components and does not emphasize any special factors throughout the computing environment. The design of the cloud architecture must give the same weight to compute, network, and storage components. General purpose cloud architectures are common in private, public, and hybrid cloud environments, making this price available for many different cases.

	Note:
	General purpose cloud architectures are deployed evenly and are not suitable for special environments or edge use cases.

Common usage scenarios for general purpose cloud architectures include:

• Provide a simple database

• A Web Application Runtime environment

• A shared application development platform

• Lab Test Platform

Use cases that use scale-out effects that are better than vertical scaling are the ideal object for general-purpose cloud architectures.

A general-purpose cloud environment is potentially useful and functional, rather than customized for a given user. The general purpose architecture is designed to meet 80% of potentially available cases. The infrastructure itself is a designated case, intended as a basic model of the design process. The general purpose cloud architecture is designed to be a system platform for general purpose applications.

General purpose cloud architectures are limited to most basic components, but they can contain the following attachment resources:

• Virtual Machine disk Image Library

• Bare Device block Storage

• File or Object storage

• Firewall

• Load Balancing

• IP Address

• Network overlay or virtual local area network (VLAN)

• Package
