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 hypervisor and request that it launch the VM.

  1. Go to Infrastructure → Private or Public 

  2. Select a datacenter or public cloud region

  3. If necessary, click on the server details symbol at the top of the Datacenters list

    • In public cloud, click on a tenant account to display its details

To allow tenants to use virtual resources, grant them access to the datacenter or public cloud region.  See Manage Enterprisesenterprises  and Configure an enterprise in a cloud location .

To allow users to administer a restricted set of datacenters or public cloud regions, use use administration scopes. See Manage scopes . 

  • 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.

...

In private cloud, the catalogue stores disk images on an NFS repository and so Abiquo requires one NFS repository for each Abiquo datacenter.

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

...

If your datacenters do not display as pins on the map, see How see How to obtain and install a Google Maps API Key for Key for information about using Google Maps in Abiquo.
