Introduction to virtual datacenters

In the Virtual virtual datacentersin myCloud view you can manage your compute, network and storage resources. Each virtual datacenter (VDC) is a separate cloud environment in a single datacenter or public cloud region. 

To access Virtual datacenters view, click the myCloud button in the main menu and then click the cloud virtual datacenters button at the top left of the screen.

...

To display all the virtual datacenters in specific providers, click the funnel filter button at the top of the list and select one or more providers.

...

  1. Go to myCloud view → Virtual datacenters

  2. Below the V. datacenters list, click the + add button

  3. Select Create a new virtual datacenter from the pull-down menu

  4. For the General information:

    1. For the Location select the datacenter or public cloud region to use

    2. For the Network select from:

      1. Default: Create The platform creates a private network (default private or external) using using the platform settings (from Configuration view → Network) and assigns the default network settings. If the default network is an external network, also create a default private network.(from the enterprise or platform settings)

      2. None: do The platform does not create a private network or assign a default network. This option is not available in Azure or OCI.

      3. Custom Private: Create a custom private network (see details below)

        Create a virtual datacenter with network options
    3. If your environment uses NAT, you can select:

      1. NAT network: to use for the default SNAT rule

      2. Default NAT IP: for the default SNAT rule

  5. Click Save

When you create a virtual datacenter, with None selected for the Network, the platform does not create a default private network .

In private cloud, if the enterprise in the datacenter has another type of Default network, such as an external network, the platform will assign this network.

of the enterprise.

If there is no default network in the virtual datacenter, and the user tries to deploy a VM without a NIC, then the deploy will fail ( because the platform cannot automatically assign an IP address without a network).

Create a virtual datacenter with a default network

...

The private network can be the Automatically-created private network, which is called default_private_network, or a custom private network, which will be set you can define with the Custom option, and the platform will set it as the default network.
