Abstract
A computer-implemented method for configuring a network topology within a cloud computing environment is disclosed. The method includes providing a user interface (UI) to a user to configure a selection of network topology features. The UI enables the user to specify network topology features at the physical device level. Available cloud computing resources that are associated with the cloud computing environment are detected and the configured network topology is mapped to the available cloud computing resources. The user may then access the mapped cloud resources as a virtual network.
