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.

titleClick here to show/hide the task: Create a public cloud region
Note: For OpenStack and vCloud Director, you must enter public cloud credentials in order to retrieve the public cloud regions (for example, in vCloud this is equivalent to a Provider or Org VDC).
  1. Create a new public cloud region from the + button in Infrastructure view.
  2. Enter the name for the region, select the public cloud provider and mark the checkboxes for the region(s) you wish to use. Click next.
  3. Enter the first digits of the IP address of the monolithic Abiquo server, select it from the dropdown list and click Duplicate IP addresses to copy remote service location, ports, and components
  4. Click the "Accept" button to use this remote services configuration for the datacenter.

Abiquo creates new public cloud region(s) with all available resources managed by Abiquo. New public cloud regions are named first with the name that the user enters, and then with this name and a suffix of _1, _2, for example, AWS, AWS_1, AWS_2, and so on.

Abiquo tenant administrators can create load balancers in public cloud providers that support them, such as Rackspace, or OpenStack with Abiquo OpenStack Neutron integrationAWS, or Azure. Abiquo has a consistent interface for load balancers that incorporates different provider functionality.
