Access your public cloud account by clicking Clouds > Overview.

Each tile on this page represents your public cloud account with the number of accounts, regions, VPCs or VNets, and instances (workload VMs) it contains.

You can perform the following tasks:

Add a public cloud account or subscription You can add one or more public cloud accounts or subscriptions. This enables you to view your public cloud inventory in CSM. It also shows the number of VMs that are managed by NSX-T Data Center and their state.

See "Add Your Public Account" in the NSX-T Data Center Installation Guide for instructions.
Deploy/Undeploy NSX Public Cloud Gateway You can deploy or undeploy one or two (for High Availability) PCG(s). You can also undeploy PCG from CSM.

See "Deploy or Link PCGs" in the NSX-T Data Center Installation Guide for instructions.

Enable or Disable Quarantine Policy You can enable or disable Quarantine Policy. See Threat Detection using the NSX Cloud Quarantine Policy for details.
Switch between Grid and Card view The cards display an overview of your inventory. The grid displays more details. Click the icons to switch between the view types.

CSM provides a single pane of glass view of all your public cloud accounts that you have connected with NSX Cloud by presenting your public cloud inventory in different ways:

  • You can view the number of regions you are operating in.
  • You can view the number of VPCs/VNets per region.
  • You can view the number of workload VMs per VPC/VNet.

There are four tabs under Clouds.
