Abiquo users will consume their cloud resources and provision new virtual environments in the virtual datacenters (VDCs) that belong to their tenant. Each VDC is a separate cloud environment in a datacenter or public cloud region.
VDCs provide an abstraction layer so the cloud user is removed as far as possible from the physical infrastructure. So the cloud user does not need to be concerned about the underlying technology and can simply receive the service that is defined in their Service Level Agreement.
For each tenant, you can create multiple VDCs, but each VDC uses only one hypervisor or provider, to ensure consistency in the VDC.
To create different tiers of service or different SLAs for private cloud users, you can create VDCs with different physical infrastructure and hypervisors. For example, a development environment might be suitable for running on cheap commodity less expensive hardware with a free hypervisor such as KVM, whereas a production application may need to run on VMware if it requires other more advanced features offered by these hypervisors.
In public cloud, Abiquo works with "VDC-like" entities such as Amazon VPCs, Azure virtual networks, and vCloud Director vApps, . In clouds that do not have a "VDC-like" entity, such as Google Cloud, Abiquo creates logical VDCs. For example, see AWS Integration#HowAbiquoCreatesaVirtualPrivateCloud
