This section describes how to manage the physical infrastructure of your data center and public clouds, including compute, hardware profiles, datacenter networks, devices for SDN integrations, and storage devices and datastore tiers on in the hybrid cloud platform. |
...
Cloud administrators manage datacenters' physical infrastructure and public cloud regions in Infrastructure view. This cloud infrastructure will be offered to the end user as an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud. Abiquo offers a multi-datacenter approach, so you can provide virtual infrastructure supported by public clouds and physical infrastructure in different locations.
To access the Infrastructure view, click the servers Infrastructure button at the top of the main menu.

To display the Google Maps you will require an API key. See How to obtain and install a Google Maps API Key

Introduction to remote services
Remote services are applications that perform operations for the Abiquo orchestrator. For example, when you deploy a VM in the platform, the orchestrator uses the Virtualization manager remote service to communicate with the hyperivsor and request that it launch the VM.
...
Display infrastructure details
In Infrastructure view, you can manage private cloud infrastructure and display details of tenants in public cloud regions.

...
Go to Infrastructure → Private or Public
Select a datacenter or public cloud region
If necessary, click on the server details symbol at the top of the Datacenters list
In private cloud, click on servers to display their details and VMs
In public cloud, click on a tenant account to display its details
...
Note that scopes will affect the administration of datacenter resources but not the use of datacenter resources. If the user's enterprise is allowed to use a datacenter, the user will be able to deploy in that datacenter, even if they do not have administration privileges for it.

Datacenters and public cloud regions
Abiquo defines a datacenter as a datacenter as a set of IT resources (servers, networking and external storage) in the same physical location. From the Infrastructure view you can manage basic infrastructure elements such as networks, racks, and physical machines.
Abiquo defines a public a public cloud region as region as a set of IT resources exposed by a supported cloud provider.
...
In datacenters, Abiquo creates self-service for users through the Catalogue, which contains software templates and blueprints that are ready to deploy, as well as service configurations for XaaS.
In private cloud, the catalogue stores disk images on an NFS repository and so Abiquo requires one NFS repository for each Abiquo datacenter.

Display infrastructure map
In Infrastructure view, under the default configuration, if the Abiquo Server has an Internet connection, the platform can display an infrastructure map using Google Maps. To set the default coordinates, see Configure map defaults. To configure Google Maps in the platform, see How to obtain and install a Google Maps API Key
...
Go to Infrastructure → Private or Public
