5.3 Network Infrastructure in the Cloud

5.3.1 Create External Networks

Now that we have created compute and storage units in the cloud, we need to provide network access to

the cloud.

External networks are used in VMware vCloud Director to give external connectivity to vApps. vApps live in

Organizations (which will be introduced later), so in a sense these networks are “external” to the Organization in

which the vApps live.

An External Network is a portgroup in vSphere that carries external virtual-machine trac. This portgroup can

be associated with a VLAN tag to ensure network isolation.

The simple way of thinking about this is that if you wish your vApps in the cloud to connect to vApps outside

their own Organization or to an External Network service such as the Internet or a shared storage network that

you have in a vSphere environment, then you create an External Network and connect the vApp to it.
