|
Network security rules |
SSL (port 443) Outbound from SkyFormation machine to SkyFormation cloud services
download.skyformation.net skyformation-metadata.s3.amazonaws.com we advise to also open: reportlogs.skyformation.net for troubleshooting capabilities
|
SkyFormation cloud service allows download of the SkyFormation software, deployment scripts, updates and more. Also it is used for the SkyFormation license activation. |
|
SSL (port 443 and 8443) Outbound from SkyFormation machine to any internet address for the duration of the install only |
This is needed for the SkyFormation Discover and SkyFormation cloud apps connectors modules. | |
|
CentOS only HTTP (port 80) Outbound from SkyFormation machine to the Yum package manager URL * If HTTP outbound is not permitted a reverse proxy could be used to proxy the the Yum package manager requests over SSL. Please see: Configure CentOS package manager Yum to use reverse proxy Note that the SkyFormation reverse proxy is only available if coordinated with the SkyFormation support team in advance. |
SkyFormation auto-install uses the Linux package manager to download the needed Linux packages for it to run. Once done this rule could be removed. |
|
|
For installation/Upgrade HTTP and HTTPS outbound from the SkyFormation machine to the Docker registry
|
SkyFormation installation/upgrade uses the these domains to retrieve and install the docker app on the machine (if outdated or missing) and the SkyFormation app docker images from its registry. An alternative is to have docker and docker-compose installed on the host |
