Evolution Platform – IaaS – Sandbox 1.6

Virtual Machine and Network Services API

The goal of  Evolution Platform - Iaas API is to manage virtual machines and their connectivity so partners can build services on Orange SDN POP and make them available to customers. This EvolutionPlatform - Iaas - Sandbox API is in a simulated environment not connected to any SDN POP.

Several top-level resources are defined in this API:

• Virtual Network
• Virtual Machine
• Server Group
• Security Group
• Key Pair
• Volume
• Public IP Addresses

Each top-level TCS resource is contained into a project and has its own lifecycle.

1. Create a server group
   
2. Create a virtual network
   
3. Create a key pair
   
4. Create one or several security groups that contain security rules (optional)
   
5. Create one or several volumes (optional)
   
6. Reserve one or several public IP addresses (optional)
   
7. Create a virtual machine with its interfaces, its key pair, its security groups, its volume, and its public IPs
8. Apply actions on the virtual machine or on its interfaces
