Customers wish to offer convenient public cloud services with the same easy user interface. In addition to local data centers, Abiquo can manage public cloud resources. To perform this walkthrough, the user must be logged into Abiquo as the Cloud Operator and have network access to the public cloud providers. Each tenant will require their own set of public cloud credentials. To manage public cloud, Abiquo creates public cloud regions, which are similar to data centers, for public cloud providers, and clouds managed by platforms such as OpenStack and vCloud Director.
