To create public cloud regions and also to give tenants access to the regions, you will require vCloud Director credentials.
Credentials format
The username of the Provider administrator will usually be in the format: administrator@SYSTEM. If you do not specify an organization, then the default is administrator credentials.
The username of the Organization administrator will usually be in the format: user@ORGANIZATION_NAME
Create public cloud regions for vCloud Director
As each vCloud Director environment will have different regions (compared to AWS or Azure), you must enter credentials to retrieve the vDCs in vCloud Director in order to create public cloud regions in the platform.
The platform can work with a Provider vDC or an Organization vDC as a public cloud region.
- If you use organization administrator credentials, then the entire public cloud region will belong to a single tenant and represent a single Organization vDC.
- If you use administrator credentials, then the public cloud region will represent a Provider vDC, and it can be used by multiple tenants, with their own organization credentials to access their Organization vDCs.
When you create the public cloud region in the platform, enter the appropriate credentials.
Use vCloud Director public cloud regions
To use a public cloud region in vCloud, you must add Organization credentials for the tenant.
When working with the PCR = provider vDC mode, you should also enter the administrator credentials in order to tag the org vDC and know in which provider vDC it belongs (Org users cannot display the provider VDC). If the same organization has more than a single org vDC in the same provider vDC, then the system administrator should use ''vcd-system-region'' tool in order to tag a single vDC
