Networks
A network in Cloud Management Platform (CMP) mirrors one in your virtualization platform or cloud account, and holds the settings a server needs to use it
Resource pools
A resource pool is a list of prepared values that Cloud Management Platform (CMP) provides to servers as they are provisioned
OS builds
An OS build is a named group of virtual machine templates or images that users order from, rather than picking a template by name
