Onboard virtual datacenters from public cloud
...
| Warning |

If you delete a synchronized VDC, the platform will delete it in the provider. Always check which is the default VDC in your provider, e.g. AWS default VPC, because it may be inconvenient to delete this VPC If your enterprise does not have valid credentials for the public cloud provider, when you delete public cloud entities in the platform, they will still exist in the public cloud provider |

- Go to Virtual datacenters
- At the top of the V. Datacenters list, click the + Add button
- Select Synchronize public cloud
- Select a public cloud region
- After you select the region:
- If the provider supports virtual datacenters, select a virtual datacenter entity from the list
- If the provider does not support virtual datacenters, Abiquo will automatically onboard the virtual resources in the region
Onboard virtual datacenters from public cloud
To onboard a virtual datacenter:
...
The platform will detect a public subnet by the presence of a custom route table and NAT gateway, and the platform will mark the public subnet with a globe symbol and set the Internet gateway flag for this subnet. Users with bespoke network configurations should check the results of the synchronization. The platform will synchronize private and public IP addresses even if they are not in use by VMs, and mark the IP addresses in use by provider entities with provider identifiers.

The platform will import VM templates. If the VM template cannot be found, the VM will be created in the platform with no registered template. In this case, to save a copy of your VM disk as a template, so you can recreate the VM, make an Abiquo instance of the VM.

Onboard from public cloud regions without VDCs
If your public cloud provider does not support virtual datacenter entities, Abiquo will automatically onboard when you select the public cloud region.
Abiquo Abiquo onboards and synchronizes virtual resources in public cloud regions for providers that do use virtual datacenters or similar entities, for example, OpenStack clouds and Rackspace. You can only synchronize these providers at the public cloud region level. You cannot synchronize a VDC or an individual resource, for example, a load balancer.
If your public cloud provider does not support virtual datacenter entities, to onboard virtual resources do the following steps:
- Go to Virtual datacenters
- At the top of the V. Datacenters list, click the + Add button
- Select Synchronize public cloud
- Select a public cloud region
If Abiquo already has virtual resources on the platform for the provider, then these entities will already be part of a virtual datacenter. Abiquo will check if any new entities in the provider are related to the existing ones in Abiquo and place them in the existing virtual datacenter.
