For each tenant, you can create multiple VDCs, but each VDC uses only one hypervisor or provider, to ensure consistency in the VDC.
 
To create different tiers of service or different SLAs for private cloud users, you can create VDCs with different physical infrastructure hypervisors and hypervisorscloud providers. For example, you may run a development environment might be suitable for running on less expensive hardware with a free hypervisor such as KVM, whereas you may run a production application may need to run on VMware if it requires other more advanced features offered by these hypervisors.

In public cloud, Abiquo works with "VDC-like" entities such as Amazon VPCs, Azure virtual networksVirtual Networks, and vCloud Director vApps. In clouds that do not have a "VDC-like" entity, such as Google Cloud, Abiquo creates logical VDCs. For example, see AWS integration#HowAbiquoCreatesaVirtualPrivateCloud

titleClick here to show/hide the task: Create a virtual datacenter

To create a virtual datacenter:

  1. Login as the Cloud Admin.
  2. Click the Cloud In the main menu, click the myCloud icon to Open "open myCloud view at Virtual datacenters" view
  3. Click on the + add icon in the "Virtual Datacenters" paneFill in necessary info, select Datacenter, and Hypervisor type. Specify V. Datacenters list
  4. Enter the Name of the virtual datacenter's name, select the physical datacenter where its applications will be deployed and if there is more than one hypervisor type, select the hypervisor you want to use. Please note that the hypervisor depends on the physical datacenter configuration, so select the physical datacenter first.Click "Save". Location (cloud provider, or the datacenter, and if required the Hypervisor type).
  5. Click Save.

Image Added

A virtual datacenter for the enterprise will be available for virtual appliances to be created and deployed within.

Note: To create a virtual datacenter for another cloud tenant, you will need to switch to that tenant first in Home view or Users view.

titleClick here to show/hide the task: Create a load balancer
  1. Select the location or the virtual datacenter and synchronize (or synchronize the individual elements: firewalls (where applicable) and load balancers).
  2. Click the + button and enter load balancer general information

  3. Create routing rules


  4. Enter a health check if required - AWS will automatically create one if you do not enter one
  5. Assign a firewall if required

  6. Assign nodes


  7. Click Save

A load balancer is created. As always, check you provider documentation for pricing and functionality. For more information about load balancers in Abiquo, see Manage load balancers.

Note: cloud users will require appropriate privileges to use load balancers.

A virtual datacenter provides an abstraction of the same resources as a physical datacenter (such as compute, network infrastructure, storage, backup, security, etc) with the added advantages of cloud computing:

  • Virtualization
  • Pay-as-you-go billing
  • Quick scalability
  • Technology and hardware abstraction.

A VDC offers the classical data center infrastructure as a service, so users can run their applications more economically and with greater flexibility.
