How to Use Private Cloud within a vRack

View as Markdown

The OVHcloud vRack feature makes it possible to connect different cloud services with each other, within one or more secure private networks (VLANs).

This guide explains how to set the solution up with a Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure.

Requirements

Instructions

OVHcloud Control Panel

After your Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure is delivered, it will be displayed in the vRack section in your OVHcloud Control Panel.

To access it:

  1. Go to the Bare Metal Cloud section.
  2. Click on Network.
  3. Then click on vRack.

You can move the "datacenter" of your Private Cloud to another vRack by selecting it and clicking on the Move button.

In the vSphere client, you can find vRack-capable VLANs in the Networks section, located in the vrack folder.

By default, OVHcloud delivers an infrastructure with 11 VLANs included (VLAN10 to VLAN20).
