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 Abiquo Server and Abiquo Remote Services to the hypervisors that are managed. Infrastructure and virtual machines are monitored they manage. The platform also monitors infrastructure and VMs on this network. Virtual machine templates are also deployed And it also deploys VM templates over this network.

  • Service Network:  contains the virtual networks (VLANs) for the cloud
  • Storage Network: optionally used to connect the hypervisors to the iSCSI external storage devices with user volumes and persistent virtual machine VM disks
  • Public Network: used to connect virtual machines VMs 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

...

In datacenters, cloud networks are the virtual networks that administrators configure to deliver self-service IP addresses to the virtual machinesVMs.

The cloud network types supported by Abiquo are as follows:

  • Private Networks within virtual datacenters (in private and public cloud)
  • External Networks accessible from outside the virtual datacenter and outside the platform, and assigned to a single tenant. Used in private cloud with standard networking and integrations.
  • Unmanaged Networks with IP addresses managed outside of Abiquo only, and assigned to a single tenant. Used in private cloud
  • Public Networks with public IP addresses and Internet access and can be shared by multiple tenants. Used in private cloud
  • Public IPs in public cloud, such as AWS Elastic IPs IPs.  

For more detailed descriptions of each network, please see see Cloud networks

The external, unmanaged, and public networks may be collectively referred to as 'datacenter networks' because they are managed at the Abiquo datacenter level.
