Introduction to datacenters and public cloud regions

Abiquo defines a datacenter  as a set of IT resources (servers, networking and external storage) in the same physical location. From the Infrastructure view you can manage basic infrastructure elements such as networks, racks, and physical machines.  

Abiquo defines a public cloud region as a set of IT resources exposed by a supported cloud provider.

The following diagram shows a datacenter with compute resources and a public cloud region in AWS with VPCs.
