Onboard virtual datacenters

To onboard a virtual datacenter from public cloud:

1. Go to Virtual datacenters
2. At the bottom of the V. Datacenters list, click the + add button
3. Select Synchronize public cloud
4. On the General information tab, select the region and the resources to onboard 
   
   
   For more details see GUI Synchronize public cloud General information
   
   

• On the Roles tab, optionally restrict user permissions in the virtual datacenter
  
  
  For more details see GUI Synchronize public cloud Roles
  
  
  • The platform will mark the Public subnet (identified by a custom route table and NAT gateway) with a globe symbol and set the Internet gateway flag for this subnet. 

  • Users with bespoke network configurations should check the results of the synchronization. 

  • The platform will synchronize private and public IP addresses even if they are not in use by VMs, and mark the IP addresses in use by provider entities with provider identifiers.

  • The platform will import VM templates. If the platform cannot find the VM template, the VM will have no template in the platform. To save a copy of your VM disk to create a template, so you can recreate the VM, make an Abiquo instance of the VM. 

  If you delete a synchronized VDC, the platform will delete it in the provider. If your enterprise does not have valid credentials for the public cloud provider, when you delete public cloud entities in the platform, they will still exist in the public cloud provider
