The present disclosure provides a cloud platform and a construction method thereof. The cloud platform includes a plurality of compute nodes and at least two storage backends. The construction method includes: establishing an association relationship between the compute nodes and the at least two storage backends, such that each compute node is associated with one and only one storage backend. Different storage backends are associated with different compute nodes. When the compute node generates an image file, a type of the image file is determined. The type of the image file includes a base image file or an exported image file. The image file is stored according to the type of the image file and the storage backend associated with the compute node that generates the image file. The technical solutions of the present disclosure enhance the overall disaster tolerance and stability of the cloud platform.
