Discussion

The Virtual Datacenter Management system provides a management plane for privileged access and communications. Separation of management and user traffic, including access to the customer service portal, is provided to the DOD Mission Owner by the cloud service provider (CSP) to provision and configure cloud service offerings. Additionally, service endpoints for application program interfaces (APIs) and command line interfaces (CLIs) are available as part of the Customer Portal network. These systems can be accessed through the internet by DOD privileged users only (e.g., DOD system and network administrators).
