Supported Sources

Following are the sources on which Cohesity can deploy the SaaS Connectors:

Connectors Supported Sources
AWS SaaS Connector

  • AWS

    • AWS EC2

    • AWS RDS instance

    • AWS RDS database (PostgreSQL and Aurora (PostgreSQL Compatible))
Azure SaaS Connector

    • Azure VM

    • Azure SQL

Check Firewall Ports

Ensure that the ports listed in the SaaS Connector Management section in the Firewall Ports for Cohesity-Deployed SaaS Connectors topic are open in your firewall to allow communication between the Cohesity SaaS Connector(s) and Cohesity Cloud Services.

These firewall rules allow outgoing traffic from a SaaS Connector to the Cohesity DataProtect as a Service endpoint. The SaaS Connector opens a secure encrypted gRPC tunnel to the endpoint and uses it for both backup and recovery traffic.

The connectivity status between a SaaS Connection and the Cohesity DataProtect as a Service is displayed both in the SaaS Connection and the Cohesity DataProtect as a Service dashboard.
