AppViewX Cloud Connector DataCenter Significance

AppViewX provides a default Cloud Connector DataCenter called cloud-dc within the AppViewX SaaS infrastructure for connectivity to the public endpoints such as Cloud Accounts (Cloud service providers - AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and External Certificate Authorities (Digicert, Entrust, Commodo etc) directly thereby eliminating complex configurations.

Alternatively, users can also set up dedicated cloud connectors within the enterprises’s cloud infrastructure should there be any source connection restrictions or a need for dedicated communication to the respective public endpoints - Cloud Accounts (Cloud service providers - AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and External Certificate Authorities (Digicert, Entrust, Commodo, and so on). The cloud connectors can be mapped to a unique DataCenter name.

You can map the DataCenter to the AppViewX Cloud Connector instance at the time of adding the cloud connector.

You can also choose to have a dedicated cloud connector instance for specific endpoints. To do this, at the time of onboarding the endpoint (Managed Devices, Network Scan, Certificate Authority, and so on), select the AppViewX Cloud Connector DataCenter Name from the DataCenter field in each of the endpoint onboarding pages.
