Amazon virtual private cloud support with NetBackup
Using NetBackup you can add a new cloud storage in an Amazon virtual private cloud (VPC) environment.
The following diagram illustrates how NetBackup integrates with VPC.
The diagram illustrates the following points:
You must deploy the media servers within the VPC environment.
You can deploy the master server locally or in the VPC environment. Ensure that the master server is able to communicate with the media servers.
In the public subnet, PC1 uses both private and elastic IP and has access to the Internet. The media server 1, also has access to the Internet. In a public subnet, you can authenticate and access the storage bucket over Internet or using the VPC endpoint.
In the private subnet, PC2 uses only private IP and has no access to the Internet. The media server 2, also has no access to the Internet. In a private subnet, you can authenticate and access the storage bucket using the VPC endpoint.
A VPC is restricted to a specific region.
You need to add a new cloud storage server for the specific region.
Do not configure multiple regions for one service host.
When you configure a region for a service host, it must be same as the VPC region; you cannot configure a different region. For example, if you want to add a cloud storage for Singapore region VPC environment, you must configure the service host region to Singapore.
For VPC in the default (US East (N. Virginia)) AWS region, use s3-external-1.amazonaws.com as the service host and us-east-1 as the location identifier.
Configure the NetBackup policy to use the media server within the VPC environment.
