Private Networks
Every users has their own network on Warren platform. When user creates a new resource a default network is created for the user. After introducing Private Network feature users can now create additional private networks for themselves, the first default network called “My Network” can also be seen now in the UI. Networks are all location specific.
Creating Private network
A new network can be create either on the main page or on the Network tab on the left menu by clicking “Create New Network Resource”
The user needs to specify the network name and click “Create”
First created network is set as default. If user has not create a new network the automatically created default network is set as default. The networks will be listed in Network Resources aside with Floating IPs of the user.
Creating VM to a Network
If the user does not have any resources yet the VM will be created in the default network
The default network named “My Network” will be created while creating the VM
If user has already one or more private networks the network can be selected when creating the VM. Also a new network can be created by clicking “Add New” in the networks' dropdown.
Note on VM cloning
When you clone a VM, the new machine instance is attached to the default network.
Moving VMs between networks
The VMs cannot be moved directly between networks, but you can create a replica in the target network.
To make a replica, the new VM has to be created from a snapshot or backup of the original machine. During setup, select the target network for the new machine. Alternatively, you can clone the VM; in this case you must first set the desired target VPC as the default.
Changing Private Network
The network name can be changed on the network details page. Also the network can be set to default or deleted. The network cannot be deleted if it is the default network or it has some resources. Set network as default means this network is suggested as a first option when creating a new VM.
