Working with Domain VPCs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The functionality of domain VPCs allows operators to aggregate multiple
Network Tiers from distinct users on the same VPC, reducing the number of virtual
routers necessary in the environment, and consequently, decreasing the
amount of public IP addresses consumed. All Network Tiers added to the VPC share
the same VR, but each one has their own broadcast domain and features
implemented by the VPC, such as DHCP, NAT, and so on.

In order to utilize this functionality, a new Network Tier must be included to an
existing VPC by inputing the respective data for the account and the VPC
on the **'createNetwork'** API. It is important to note that, in order
for a Network Tier of a different account to be created on the VPC, the account
that creates the Network Tier must have access to both the account that owns the
VPC and the account that owns the Network Tier. The owner of the VPC must also
have access to the account that owns the Network Tier, however, the opposite
is not required.

CloudStack uses several types of system Instances to perform
tasks in the cloud. In general CloudStack manages these system VMs and
creates, starts, and stops them as needed based on scale and immediate
needs. However, the administrator should be aware of them and their
needs. Unlike user VMs, system VMs are expunged on destroying them. However, the administrator should be aware of them and their
roles to assist in debugging issues.
