The document discusses implementing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) features in CloudStack, detailing its definition and significance, including virtual routers and isolated networks. It outlines the creation and configuration of VPCs, as well as current limitations like advanced zones and single NICs per VM instance. Additionally, it hints at a more advanced setup involving custom VPCs and routing configurations.

- 2. CloudStack 3.x network VMs on a network
- 3. CloudStack 3.x network VMs on multiple networks
- 4. CloudStack 3.x network VMs w/NAT router on networks
- 5. CloudStack 3.x network No inter-vlan communication for customer's private networks
- 6. What's a VPC? ● Has multiple meanings ● In CloudStack, a VPC is: – A virtual router – One or more isolated networks – One or more virtual machine instances – Associated services ● ACLs ● Source NAT ● Static NAT ● Port Forwarding ● Load balancing ● VPN
- 7. CloudStack 4.x VPC VPC router provides inter-vlan access
- 8. VPC Router ● Debian-based system VM ● CloudStack controlled/configured ● HAProxy load balancer ● iptables rules for ACLs, NAT, port forwarding ● 1 NIC one each isolated network, one on public ● Gives customers a full datacenter experience
- 9. Creating a VPC Find the VPC section
- 10. Creating a VPC Click 'Add VPC' and define
- 11. Creating a VPC Once VPC is created, click 'configure VPC'
- 12. Creating a VPC Create one or more tiers
- 13. Creating a VPC Add VMs
- 14. Creating a VPC Create ACLs, get more IPs, etc
- 15. Current Limitations ● Advanced Zones only ● Load Balanced service offering only available on one of your isolated networks ● Only one NIC/isolated network per VM instance ● Need to acquire separate IPs for Static NAT, Port forwarding, etc ● Only Site to Site VPN, no remote access VPN ● No redundant router mode
- 16. Advanced: Roll your own VPC ● Create an instance ● Attach to multiple isolated networks and a public network ● Configure instance as router ● Create template of instance to deploy subsequent routers
