Abstract
Systems, methods and computer readable media for providing virtual private clouds within a public cloud are described. Examples include a method wherein a service provider deploys a primary instance of a cloud-in-a-box (CIAB) to his cloud computing system to create a public cloud. A CIAB includes adapters configured to manage virtual infrastructure of the cloud, and end-user portal and an administrative portal. A nested instance of CIAB may be deployed to one of the virtual machines, with one of the adapters of the nested instance of CIAB being connected to the end-user portal of the primary instance. An administrator of the nested instance may create his own library of virtual machine images and offer the library to the end-users of the nested CAIB instance.
