AWS and Azure government cloud support
Starting with 8.3, the CloudPoint server can discover Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure US Government cloud workloads. After the CloudPoint server is added to NetBackup, you can protect the workloads by NetBackup. NetBackup is compliant with the regulatory requirements including IPv6 support to deploy CloudPoint on the AWS and Azure US government cloud workloads.
After you configure AWS or Azure US Government cloud, the AWS and Azure agent service is created which discovers the cloud assets based on provided region. The discovered assets are displayed in NetBackup. Currently, only workloads from selected regions and mapped endpoint are discovered and protected. For the same CloudPoint host, you cannot use a combination of public and government clouds.
An error might occur if you update a cloud plug-in when the plug-in assets operations are in-progress.
CloudPoint supports the following GovCloud (US) regions:
Cloud provider | GovCloud (US) regions |
|---|---|
Amazon Web Services |
|
Microsoft Azure |
