Cloud servers & website migration
Set up customers' OPS Cloud servers and move their websites onto them.
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.
Jobs this covers
web_cloud_setup, web_cloud_migrate — certificate: Cloud operations (recommended)
The equipment — what everything does
Cloud console
Create, start/stop, resize, firewall, snapshots, console log.
In game: Browser → opscloud.sa → Console.
Move to another server
Moves a site between OPS Web hosting, a cloud server and the customer's own line.
In game: opsweb.sa → the site → Move to another server…
Tools & PPE
Engineer laptop & console cable
Configures routers, NVRs and servers, runs speed tests and opens OPS Hub.
Standalone servers: tools are in your van (OPS Work → My van & tools). Items servers: collect them — and the job’s parts — at an OPS depot.
Step by step
opscloud.sa → Console. Your job's customer appears under the job reference. It should be Running.
Open ports 80 and 443.
opsweb.sa → the site → Move to another server → the VM's IP (or create the site on that IP).
Make sure the site is Live and visit the domain.

Health & safety
Customer data & privacy
Risk: Router settings, passwords and camera footage are private.
Control: Only change what the job needs. Never share Wi-Fi passwords or footage, and log out of customer systems when you finish.
Downtime
Risk: Moving a site at the wrong moment takes it offline.
Control: Snapshot first, and move when the VM is running.
In game you confirm these in a risk assessment before starting. Skipping them on risky work can cause a fall or a shock — and it’s logged as a safety incident.
When it’s not done correctly
Ports 80/443 closed
Visitors get 'connection refused' and the check fails.
VM stopped or host down
The site times out.
Domain still pointing at OPS Web
Visitors keep seeing the old copy and the check fails.
