The Cloud Admin is able to view and administer multiple locations from the same interface (or single pane of glass). Each location is defined by the presence of Abiquo Remote Services that manage its resources. So a “datacenter” may represent all the resources in one geographic location, or one part of a large environment that is broken down into multiple data centers. And a "public cloud region" represents resources in a public cloud provider, for example, Amazon EC2. The Abiquo datacenter or public cloud region is one level at which you can apply Abiquo control policies. Within the cloud location, the Cloud Admin can view and administer resources, such as compute, networking, and storage.
