Veritas NetBackup™ CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide

About the deployment approach

CloudPoint uses a micro-services model of installation. When you load and run the Docker image, CloudPoint installs each service as an individual container in the same Docker network. All containers securely communicate with each other using RabbitMQ.

Two key services are RabbitMQ and MongoDB. RabbitMQ is CloudPoint's message broker, and MongoDB stores information on all the assets CloudPoint discovers. The following figure shows CloudPoint's micro-services model.
