16.27.14. Editing, Restarting, and Removing a Virtual Private Cloud
Note
Ensure that all the tiers are removed before you remove a VPC.
1. Log in to the CloudPlatform UI as an administrator or end user.
2. In the left navigation, choose Network.
3. In the Select view, select VPC.
All the VPCs that you have created for the account is listed in the page.
4. Select the VPC you want to work with.
5.
In the Details tab, click the Remove VPC button
You can remove the VPC by also using the remove button in the Quick View.
You can edit the name and description of a VPC. To do that, select the VPC, then click the Edit
button.
To restart a VPC, select the VPC, then click the Restart button.
16.28. Persistent Networks
The network that you can provision without having to deploy any VMs on it is called a persistent
network. A persistent network can be part of a VPC or a non-VPC environment.
When you create other types of network, a network is only a database entry until the first VM is
created on that network. When the first VM is created, a VLAN ID is assigned and the network is
provisioned. Also, when the last VM is destroyed, the VLAN ID is released and the network is no
longer available. With the addition of persistent network, you will have the ability to create a network in
CloudPlatform in which physical devices can be deployed without having to run any VMs. Additionally,
you can deploy physical devices on that network.
One of the advantages of having a persistent network is that you can create a VPC with a tier
consisting of only physical devices. For example, you might create a VPC for a three-tier application,
deploy VMs for Web and Application tier, and use physical machines for the Database tier. Another
use case is that if you are providing services by using physical hardware, you can define the network
as persistent and therefore even if all its VMs are destroyed the services will not be discontinued.
16.28.1. Persistent Network Considerations
• Persistent network is designed for Isolated networks.
• All default network offerings are non-persistent.
• A network offering cannot be editable because changing it affects the behavior of the existing
networks that were created using this network offering.
