Some regions, such as those in China, may require separate credentials, and for these regions, the administrator must select a separate provider, for example, AWS (China).
...
In AWS, Abiquo virtual datacenters are Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). Abiquo always creates an address space and VPC network. Then the user can select an option options to create networks subnets, or none None.
...
If the user decides to create creates a virtual datacenter with a Default or Custom private network, then Abiquo creates a VPC with networking Scenario 2 as described in the AWS documentation. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Scenario2.html. 
and a private subnet.
...
With a Custom private network, the user can specify a private subnet or a public subnet for the VPC. To create a public subnet, select the Internet gateway checkbox.
...
| Note |
|---|
Known issue in Abiquo 6.2.0: you can select the NAT gateway checkbox but this will cause an error because there is no existing public subnet with an internet gateway connection. |
...
If the user selects the option of None, Abiquo will create the VPC and VPC network only. So the user must enter the Address range for the VPC network.
...
When you create a VDC with a custom private network, you can also specify the address range of the virtual network. And you can create, onboard, and delete address ranges from AWS. See Manage address ranges.
...
Private networks
After you create a virtual datacenter, you can create more private networks, which are private subnets or public subnets in your AWS VPC. You can also create private subnets with a route to a NAT gateway.
To create a public subnet, select the Internet gateway checkbox.
...
To give your VMs outbound access to the internet, if you have an existing public subnet, create a private network and select the NAT gateway option. This option will use an existing NAT gateway or create a new one, and then create a private subnet with a route to the NAT gateway. This will let you create a configuration similar to the AWS configuration of a VPC with private subnets and NAT (see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-example-private-subnets-nat.html).
A NAT gateway uses an Elastic IP in AWS, so check the cost of this configuration.
...
When you deploy a VM (AWS instance) in the private network with the NAT gateway, it will have outbound internet access.
...
Public IP addresses
In AWS, you can allocate and assign public IPs as in other public cloud providers. The platform will onboard and synchronize Elastic IPs as public IPs within virtual datacenters. To be able to connect to a your VM, add a private IP address in a public subnet, and a public IP address.
...
When you undeploy a VM, the platform will delete the boot volume because it defines the boot volume as a non-persistent hard disk. But the platform will keep the other disks as volumes in the virtual datacenter. Users can add these volumes to other VMs and move the volumes to other virtual datacenters in the same public cloud region.
When you onboard resources, if a VM has persistent volumes attached, the platform will add them to the VDC and VM. Otherwise, it will add them to the cloud location.
