Cloud Connectivity

Hosted Cloud Connections (AWS, GCP, Azure) all require a connection from PacketFabric to be "accepted" in the CSP's portal. During this time, the portal reflects the connection as "Active". If this only reflects PacketFabric's side as being "active", can it be clarified via naming? (hosted VC status ?) Can the portal reflect the status of the CSP's side of the connection? (Waiting activation, active, Waiting for BGP etc) Can the portal have a link to the GCP and Azure consoles from the View portal for Hosted Connections similar to AWS.

Customer would like to see us have an Azure on-ramp in US West 2 (Seattle).

Display the status of any new cloud on-ramp directly to customer (similar to a cross connect turn up status).

This assumes that you have Hosted Cloud Connections previously setup. From the HOME page, click on Hosted Cloud Connectivity. Under the "Hosted Cloud Connectivity" page the Source Port Zone is shown, but the Destination Port Zone is not shown for Hosted Cloud Connections. It is important for customers to be able to see what Zones they are setup towards the Cloud Service Providers.

Configured GCP Hosted Connections. Steps on GCP are to make a cloud router (cr) then attach a VLAN to it and name the VLAN. The VLAN name is used in our portal. This is a manual text entry field at the moment. (VLAN Attachment Name). Is there a GCP API that exposes the VLAN attachment name(s) so we can expose this as a pulldown from the portal. This may require some OAuth work, but I would hope the Pairing Key (which is known prior to this step in the PacketFabric portal) would be helpful to perhaps obviate further OAuth popups and such.

Can PacketFabric provide connectivity for AWS directly from Columbus, Ohio?

Could Alibaba be an option for Cloud Connectivity?
