Description
### The required feature described as a wish
As admin user currently to identify the relation between vpc, vpn connections , site to site vpn , vpn customer gateway, vpngateways is difficult from api and also from the ui prespective
It would be great we could improve the api and Ui related operations to site to site vpn
https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.22.1.0/adminguide/networking/site_to_site_vpn.html
UI/API Issue 1: Show the associated s2svpngatewayid and s2scustomergatewayid and vpc in the vpn connections page
Navigate to Network > VPN Connections
The listVpnConnections has the s2scustomergatewayid and s2svpngatewayid in the api response and also vpcid as a parameter
https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/listVpnConnections.html
Expected behaviour
As Admin user i would like to know to which to vpn customer gateway ( name) and to which vpc (name) that a particular vpn connection is assoicated with.
Remembering the IP address and UUID is not possible
--------
UI/API Issue 2: Differnt views present when creating a vpn connection
Navigate > Network > Create VPN connection >
Navigate > Network > VPC > VPN Connection > Create Site to Site VPN Connection
Expected behaviour
Show a consistent form to avoid confusion
----
UI issue 3: Rename ( Network > Site-to-Site VPN ) to VPN gateways
Its calling the listVpnGateways api
https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/listVpnGateways.html
Expected behaviour
The site to site vpn is not a proper name
-----
UI issue 4: Show the VPC details in the main page Network > Site to Site VPN
The vpc details is visible after clicking the IP address
----
UI/Api issue 5: Show the VPC associated with VPN customer gateways
https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/listVpnCustomerGateways.html
Network > VPN Customer gateway
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the Network > VPN Connections, Site-to-Site VPN, VPN gateways, and VPN Customer gateway views alongside the listVpnConnections, listVpnGateways, and listVpnCustomerGateways API documentation. Compare the two VPN connection creation flows and identify how the existing responses expose VPC and gateway associations. Done means the relevant names and VPC details are visible in the listed views and the creation forms are consistent.
