Cloud (Infrastructure reselling) = VPC ?
Hi,
I just recently got a bit experience in CloudStack. My company wants to
host web servers for clients who from their panel or administration
dashboard have only basic privileges with the servers/VMs that are running.
For this reselling type of requirement, I started to dig into Projects view
and user permission control but did not find much. From my understanding
what I need to create is a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) offering for each
client. right ? can anybody guide me on this, I just want to know I am
heading in right direction.
Regards,
Parth Patel

Thank you very much Andrija, I was scraping through cloudstack
administration docs to properly understand this. I'll certainly ask for
your guidance if I get stuck somewhere. Thank you again :)

Doman architecture setup:
Domain: /PARTNER1/client1/
Domain: /PARTNER1/client2/...
Domain: /PARTNER2/client1/
Domain: /PARTNER2/client2/ ...
partner=reseler, while you keep to be provider of IaaS for your reselers...
This all above is if you leave the "selling" to you "partners"
In each PARTNERX domain, you will make one DOMAIN ADMIN account for your
partner/resseler to be able to administer it's user's VMs/resources
Inside each /client1/ or /client2/ subdomains (subdomains inside partner's
domains) you would create regular user accounts (with optionally multiple
users for such account)
If you have more specific question, I might be able to help (we have such
setup in place)
You could build central user (web) portal, where users can apply for
registration, than when an Portal Admin approves, client's would be
provisioned from Portal via API/root keys on CloudStack side, or similar.
(you need some mechanism of applying for account on CloudStack - and later
for user to be able to see some details, or to change their passwords - via
User portal for example, etc)
Then, white-labeling with custom CSS and logos, etc... :)
Cheers

I suppose sometimes It's wise to use Domains rather than accounts, but If
you have single-rank customers (every customer fits the same rules) then
accounts are just fine.

Hi Parth
To maintain current and future client isolation you should look at setting up an account (not just a user) for each client, then in each account you can configure a VPC or simple isolated network for the webservers.
Hope this helps,
