The multi-cloud platform enables you to add public cloud regions and vCloud Director clouds as public cloud regions. You can offer cloud tenants a federation of private cloud and public clouds in a single pane of glass. And you can control the use of public cloud resources in the same way as you can in the platform's private cloud datacenter (quotas, limits, etc).
The platform manages public cloud regions using remote services. For a public cloud region, the remote services can be shared with other datacenters or public cloud regions, and you do not need an NFS repository. Each cloud tenant using the public cloud region will require its own cloud provider account and needs to add a set of credentials to the Enterprise.

When users create a virtual datacenter and deploy in the public cloud region, the platform creates the entities in the public cloud provider. For example, in AWS, Abiquo creates a VPC and in AWS, VMs deployed in the VPC virtual datacenter are AWS EC2 Instances.
