Remote services for datacenters and public cloud regions

The following table describes Abiquo remote services required for datacenters and public cloud regions. 

Remote service	Datacenter	Public cloud region	Type in Abiquo	Protocol	Default port	Path
Virtualization Manager			VIRTUAL_FACTORY	http://	8009	virtualfactory
Monitor Manager			VIRTUAL_SYSTEM_MONITOR	http://	8009	vsm
Appliance Manager	+ NFS		APPLIANCE_MANAGER	http://	8009	am
Discovery Manager			NARS	http://	8009	nars
Business Process Manager			BPM_SERVICE	http://	8009	bpm-async
DHCP Service			DHCP_SERVICE	omapi:// or dnsmasq://	7911 or 823
DHCPv6 Service			DHCPv6	omapi:// or dnsmasq://	7911 or 823
Remote Access Manager			REMOTE_ACCESS	guacd://	4822

You can configure the ports as required, for example, for example, to avoid CORS issues, you might decide to configure AM access through HTTPS on port 443.

When you delete a location, the location-restricted remote services will be deleted, but the other remote services may remain in Abiquo. These remote services will not be assigned to any location.

Key to symbols

 - Location-restricted remote services: the appliance manager and the business process manager CANNOT BE SHARED and each Appliance Manager remote service requires a separate NFS repository to hold the Datacenter Apps Library. These remote services can only be assigned to a single datacenter and you must supply the datacenter when they are created and they must be deleted when the datacenter is deleted. 

 - When sharing these remotes services, they require access to ONE shared remote service Redis instance

 - To create a vCloud Director public cloud region, you must have already registered a Discovery Manager remote service in Abiquo

  - You do not need Abiquo DHCP servers when VMs receive their network configuration outside Abiquo (e.g. unmanaged networks, SDN, guest setup). For standard Abiquo cloud networks, the DHCP Servers are essential to the proper functioning of VM networking.
