1.4 Protocols used on public network
COMPUTE
Configuration of Cloud VPS and PRO is performed from the Cloud Control Panel, which uses the HTTPS protocol. VMs are delivered to the Customer on a public network and accessible exclusively using RSA 2048 bit encrypted SSH protocol (for Linux machines) and Secure Remote Desktop Protocol (SSL). The direct control panel of the machine (KVM) is managed via HTTPS protocol.
PRIVATE
Configuration of Private Cloud is performed from the vCloud Director Control Panel which uses the HTTPS protocol. VMs are delivered to the Customer on a private network with its own virtual dedicated firewall (NSX Edge) which uncouples the machine from the public network. VMs provided by Aruba can only be accessed via RSA 2048 bit encrypted SSH protocol (for Linux machines) and Secure Remote Desktop Protocol (SSL). The direct control panel of the machine (KVM) is managed via HTTPS protocol.
DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service)
When the Customer’s offices and Aruba offices are interconnected, the public transport component is guaranteed by an IPSEC VPN with AES encryption (agreed with the customer) that encapsulates all necessary traffic between them and ensures security. Even in the case of interconnection between Aruba Data Centers, the public transport component is guaranteed by a similar AES encrypted IPSEC VPN dedicated to the service.
BACKUP
Cloud Backup
Jobs produced are encrypted at source and transmitted with AES protocol using a password known only by the Customer. The HTTPS protocol is used for configuration performed from the Control Panel.
Bare Metal Backup
The service configuration panel is provided on the HTTPS protocol. All data within it travel on a segregated, internal private network on the Aruba Cloud.
OBJECT STORAGE
Cloud Object Storage
The profile and storage plan configuration is performed using the Control Panel using the HTTPS protocol. For the S3 protocol, the customer can choose, according to its features, to use the HTTPS protocol.
MONITORING
Cloud Monitoring
The Control Panel for configuring the monitoring system uses the HTTPS protocol. Checks use the protocols selected by the customer and based on the application features that the customer has chosen.
DOMAIN CENTER
Cloud Domains
Configuration of domains and DNS is performed using the Cloud Control Panel which uses the HTTPS protocol. The service provides the DNS protocol (which is not encrypted by design).
DBAAS
Cloud DBaaS
Configuration of Cloud DBaaS is performed using the Cloud Control Panel which uses the HTTPS protocol.
