Platform networks

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 the Abiquo Server and Abiquo Remote Services to the hypervisors that they manage. The platform also monitors infrastructure and VMs on this network. And it also deploys VM templates over this network.

  • Service Network: contains the virtual networks (VLANs) for the cloud

  • Public Network: used to connect VMs to the Internet. This network can include multiple public VLANs and different subnets of routable Internet addresses.
