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
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
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
