CloudBurst Connectivity Requirements

Controller

To use CloudBurst, a controller machine must be connected to the Internet by one of the following methods:
  • direct connection
  • HTTP Proxy (no authentication)
  • HTTP Proxy (basic authentication)
  • HTTP Proxy (NTLM authentication)
  • HTTP Proxy (Kerberos authentication)

If a proxy server is present, the server must allow the HTTP CONNECT method to port 443.

Cloud Agents

A cloud agent is a virtual image. Communication between the controller and cloud agents is conducted over an HTTPS connection. The cloud agent allows for unrestricted outbound traffic. Inbound traffic is limited to port 443 and the HTTPS protocol.
