NetworkContainer class

The NetworkContainer class represents a virtual data center called a network container. Network containers provide a secure logical separation of resources within a pod. A cloud environment can have multiple network containers. A private cloud might have only one network container, while a public cloud is likely to have a separate network container for each tenant. From the perspective of BMC Network Automation, a network container is an instantiation of a container blueprint. A container blueprint describes a network container and includes information such as the number of secure zones in the container and the resources needed to support the container (for example, a firewall services module (FWSM) and virtual local area networks (VLANs)).
