Platform networks

Excerpt

The main platform networks to configure separately for the platform datacenters are:

  • Management Network: used by the Abiquo platform components to manage the virtual resources. It connects theto the hypervisors that are managed. Infrastructure and virtual machines are monitored on this network. Virtual machine templates are also deployed over this network.

  • Service Network:  contains the virtual networks (VLANs) for the cloud
  • Storage Network: optionally used to connect the hypervisors to the iSCSI storage with user volumes and persistent virtual machine disks
  • Public Network: used to connect virtual machines to the Internet. This network can include multiple public VLANs and different subnets of routable Internet addresses.

These networks are shown in the following network topology diagram
