Overview
What it does
OPS Cloud rents virtual servers to players and businesses, running on OPS Data's compute servers.
On OPS Hub
OPS Hub → Data & Cloud (virtual servers, capacity).
On the phone
The cloud console is at opscloud.sa in the Browser.
What players physically do
Everything below happens in the world, with your character, where other players can see it.
- Order a cloud server at opscloud.sa and pick a plan and image
- Open firewall ports and host a website on it
- Move a website from shared hosting onto a cloud server
How the system works
How OPS Cloud's part of the world fits together — and what breaks when it doesn't.
OPS Data centres & OPS Cloud
Data halls
Racks, UPS, generators and CRAC cooling within 25 m form a hall. Racks need power (UPS or socket), a ToR switch and a CAT6 uplink to an online router.
Heat
Running servers make heat; CRAC units remove 30 kW each. Over 32 °C servers degrade; at 40 °C they shut down until it cools.
Power
On mains the UPS charges; in a power cut it runs on battery (longer at low load), then everything goes dark.
OPS Cloud
Customer VMs are placed on healthy 'cloud' role hosts in their region, restarted elsewhere when a host dies, or left 'host down' / 'waiting for capacity'.
Platform roles
Servers can run OPS Web hosting, OPS DNS or OPS mail. Once a role has servers, that service is down whenever none is reachable — websites time out, lookups fail, mail bounces.
Every job
Every job OPS Cloud does. Open one to see who it's for, what the customer pays, what the engineer earns, the certificate needed, the parts used and exactly how the server checks the work was really done. A job is only paid when its check passes.
Cloud servers & website migration
Set up customers' OPS Cloud servers and move their websites onto them.
Cloud server set-up
$150engineer earns $180
Set up the customer's OPS Cloud server: running, ports 80/443 open, their website hosted on it.
Who it's for
Money
Customer pays $150; the engineer is paid $180 wages when it's signed off. The rest goes to the company.
Certificate
Not required — the Cloud operations course covers it.
How it's created
Raised by a customer, a fault or staff for a specific site.
How the server checks it was really done
The cloud server must be running with ports 80/443 open and the site hosted on it.

Training & safety
Each group of jobs has a course in OPS Academy: the lesson below, a health & safety module, an exam and a practical. You can read all of it here, or take it on OPS Hub → Classroom, in the OPS Academy app on the phone or laptop, or at opsacademy.sa in game.

Overview
An OPS Cloud server (VM) runs on OPS Data hardware and has its own public IP and firewall. To host a website on it: the VM must be running, ports 80/443 open, the site hosted on the VM's IP, and the domain pointing at that IP. 'Move to another server' in the site editor moves a site and updates the DNS for you.
The equipment — and what it does
Create, start/stop, resize, firewall, snapshots, console log.
Browser → opscloud.sa → Console.
Moves a site between OPS Web hosting, a cloud server and the customer's own line.
opsweb.sa → the site → Move to another server…
Tools & protective equipment
Configures routers, NVRs and servers, runs speed tests and opens OPS Hub.
Step by step
- Check the customer's serveropscloud.sa → Console. Your job's customer appears under the job reference. It should be Running.
- Open the firewallOpen ports 80 and 443.
- Put the site on itopsweb.sa → the site → Move to another server → the VM's IP (or create the site on that IP).
- Publish & testMake sure the site is Live and visit the domain.
- CheckPress Check on the job.
Health & safety — hazards and controls
Router settings, passwords and camera footage are private.
Only change what the job needs. Never share Wi-Fi passwords or footage, and log out of customer systems when you finish.
Moving a site at the wrong moment takes it offline.
Snapshot first, and move when the VM is running.
What goes wrong if it's done badly
Visitors get 'connection refused' and the check fails.
The site times out.
Visitors keep seeing the old copy and the check fails.
