To onboard resources from public cloud:

1. Go to myCloud → Virtual datacenters

2. At the bottom of the V. Datacenters list, click the + add button

3. Select Synchronize public cloud

4. On the General information tab, select the region and the other entities to onboard

   1. The virtual datacenter entities are: AWS VPCs, Azure Virtual Private Networks, OCI Virtual Cloud Networks, vCloud vApps

      

   2.  Google Cloud Platform (GCP) does not use virtual datacenter entities, so the platform onboards and synchronizes regions and all their resources.
       In GCP You cannot onboard or synchronize individual resources, for example, a public IP. 

      • When you first onboard from GCP, the platform will onboard virtual datacenter resources into a generic virtual datacenter for the region. 

      • The platform will add regional or global resources separately, such as global networks and public IP addresses. 

      • If you created virtual datacenters and resources before onboarding, the platform will add related resources into your virtual datacenters

      If conflicts occur during onboarding, the platform may stop and roll back the onboarding.

   3. Optionally, to restrict user permissions in the virtual datacenter, go to Roles and select a custom user role.
      Optionally, set exceptions to the virtual datacenter role

The platform will onboard the selected resources for you to manage.

• The platform will mark the Public subnet (identified by a custom route table and NAT gateway) 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 platform cannot find the VM template, the VM will have no template in the platform. To save a copy of your VM disk to create a template, so you can recreate the VM, make an Abiquo instance of the VM.
