Virtual Data Center¶
A Virtual Data Center is a logical set of hardware computing resources that can be dedicated to a virtual data center (Reserved strategy), shared with other data centers (Shared strategy), or shared with other data centers with restrictions (Shared with limit).
| Access Permissions | |
| SuperAdmin | read-write |
| DCAdmin | read-only |
Warning
The admin virtual data center is designed to run virtual servers, which are required for the operation of Danube Cloud software and it is not recommended to use this virtual data center for other purposes. Any manipulation with compute nodes, virtual servers or other objects in the admin virtual data center is not recommended and should be consulted with your Danube Cloud support provider.
Note
The main virtual data center is the default data center that is available immediately after successful installation of Danube Cloud. The main data center is always public and it cannot be deleted.
