Accessing CloudStack

Accessing Apache CloudStack

Your private cloud’s CloudStack management interface is the primary control plane for your infrastructure.

Management UI

The CloudStack UI is available at the URL provided in your credentials document, typically:

http://<management-server-ip>:8080/client

or over HTTPS if TLS is configured:

https://<management-server-hostname>/client

Log in with the admin credentials from your handover document.

Change the admin password

Immediately after first login:

1. Click the Account icon (top right)
2. Select Change Password
3. Set a strong password and save it securely

API access

CloudStack exposes a native API:

http://<management-server-ip>:8080/client/api

See the Apache CloudStack API documentation for the full reference.
