Provisioning


OESS | User Documentation | Provisioning

From the provisioning page, users are able to create network connections by providing some basic details about their desired connections and then selecting the networks they wish to connect with.

Details

Each connection is identified by its description and is provisioned according the schedule defined by the user.

Endpoints

Once the user has provided a description of the connection and determined when it shall be provisioned, the user may select the networks they wish to connect with. Click the New Endpoint button and a modal which contains a hierarchical view of the available networks will be displayed. Navigate the hierarchy to find your desired endpoints and then click Add Endpoint.

Peers

When creating a Layer 3 Connection an additional button will appear after adding an endpoint. Click the New Peering button and a modal which allows for the defnitiion of a BGP peering will be defined. Enter the required details and then press Adding Peering.

Public Cloud Providers

OESS supports provisiong connections to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. As provisioning for each cloud is slightly different, use the videos in this section to setup your cloud enabled endpoints. Additional details may be found here.

Saving the Connection

Once you’ve defined the connection’s details and created at least two endpoints you may save your connection. Click the save button in the upper right corner of the page. After a few moments the connection will be provisioned and you will be redirected to the connection’s details page.
