Enum - FolderExternallyManagedFolderType(vim.Folder.ExternallyManagedFolderType)

Since: vSphere API Release 9.0.0.0

Enum Description

Supported types of externally managed folder. NSX Virtual Private Clouds(VPCs) is an abstraction layer that simplifies setting up self-contained virtual private cloud networks within an NSX project to consume networking and security services in a self-service consumption model. It contains multiple subnets which represents an independent layer 2 broadcast domain. vCenter users can manage (create, update, delete) VPC and subnet under #VPC_ROOT folder. Requests are forwarded to NSX, and the VPCs and subnets in NSX are realized as #VPC and #SUBNET folder in vCenter. A project in NSX is analogous to a tenant. NSX user can create VPC, segment, and subnet within a project. These objects are represented as #PROJECT, #VPC, #SEGMENT, and #SUBNET folder under #PROJECT_ROOT folder.
