Deployments in cloud environments

TrueSight Server Automation supports managing servers that are provisioned in the public cloud data centers. To manage these servers, the following requirements must be met:

  • The RSCD Agent is installed on the servers in the cloud, and the Smart Agent is enabled and configured.
  • The Application Server is connected to the RSCD Agents.

Information
Important

Currently, deployments only in the AWS and Azure data centers are supported.

The Application Server can be located in an on-premises or a private cloud environment. The servers to be managed are usually behind a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network in AWS. Depending on the method used to connect to the RSCD Agents, the following scenarios are supported:

Scenario

Action needed

A SOCKS proxy is installed in each isolated VPC. The managed servers in the VPCs can be accessed via these SOCKS proxies.

None. The Application Server connects with the RSCD Agents through the SOCKS proxies.

A SOCKS proxy is not installed in each VPC. Both ingress and egress connectivity exists in the VPC networks.

  1. Create a shared Admin VPC and allow the ingress connectivity for each VPC.
  2. Install a SOCKS proxy in the Admin VPC.

The Application Server connects with the RSCD Agents through the SOCKS proxy installed in the Admin VPC.

A SOCKS proxy is not installed in each VPC. Only egress connectivity exists in the VPC networks, and a shared Admin VPC is possible.

  1. Install and configure the Smart Hub and Smart Hub Gateway in the shared Admin VPC.
  2. Make sure that the Application Server can connect to the Smart Hub Gateway.

The Application Server connects with the RSCD Agents through the Smart Hub Gateway.

A SOCKS proxy is not installed in each VPC. A shared admin VPC is not possible. Also, VPN connectivity is not available between the Application Server and the Smart Hub Gateway that is installed in the cloud.

  1. Install and configure the Smart Hub and Smart Hub Gateway in a public network.
  2. Make sure that the Application Server and VPC networks can access the Smart Hub Gateway over the Internet.

The Application Server connects with the RSCD Agents through the Smart Hub Gateway.
