Abiquo and AWS hybrid cloud networking

When you create a VDC, Abiquo creates a virtual private cloud (VPC) with NAT support. This will enable your private networks to access an Internet gateway that will provide NAT services to the VMs in the public cloud region. In addition, you can establish a VPN connection between your private datacenters and public cloud.

Abiquo supports AWS Elastic IPs, which are floating public IP addresses in the platform. Therefore you can also access VMs in a public cloud region through a floating public IP assigned to one of the VMs. From there, you can access the other machines on the VPC private subnet (Private Connect Network).

When you onboard a VPC, the platform will detect NAT support and mark the internet gateway. 

When you create a private network, you can select the AWS Availability Zone. This means that you can configure VMs with NICs in different zones to ensure VM high availability.
