Multi-Cloud Setup

The Multi-Cloud Instances feature in Prophaze allows organizations to deploy and manage their WAF (Web Application Firewall) infrastructure seamlessly across multiple cloud environments. This ensures better scalability, high availability, and optimized performance by distributing workloads across geographically diverse cloud regions.

To set up Multi-Cloud Instances in Prophaze, navigate to the Settings page > Multi-Cloud Instances.

Key Components of Multi-Cloud Instance Setup:

1. New Cluster Name:

a. This is the identifier for your cluster within the Prophaze system.

b. It helps differentiate between multiple clusters deployed across different cloud environments.

c. Example: prophaze-eu-cluster1

2. Cluster Endpoint:

a. This is the URL or IP address that serves as the primary entry point for managing or interacting with the cluster.

b. It ensures proper routing and communication between Prophaze and your cloud environment.

3. CNAME (Canonical Name):

a. CNAME is an alias used to map one domain name to another.

b. It simplifies the process of routing traffic and ensures easier management of DNS records.

1. A Record:

a. The A (Address) Record maps a domain name to an IP address.

b. It ensures that traffic intended for a specific domain reaches the correct cluster endpoint.

1. Service Account Token:

a. This authentication token acts as a key to validate and authorize the connection between Prophaze and your cloud environment.

b. It ensures secure access and prevents unauthorized interactions.

1. Select Geographic Location:

a. Choosing the Geographic Region (e.g., Europe-North) helps optimize latency and ensure compliance with regional data regulations.

b. Deploying clusters closer to the target user base improves response times and overall application performance.
