20.2.3 Ensuring Connectivity with Web-Based Admin View

PRIMECLUSTER provides architectural patterns for ensuring the connectivity between a terminal directly operated by a user and the management view.

For smooth designing of a cluster system, choose the appropriate one from these architectural patterns.

The following are the architectural patterns for the connectivity with the Web-Based Admin View and the appropriate scenarios for each pattern.

Table 20.3 Architectural patterns and appropriate scenarios for the connectivity with the Web-Based Admin View

Architectural pattern

Appropriate scenario

Note

Ensuring connectivity with an instance for a client

Pattern using an instance for a client

An instance for the management view client must be deployed in the public subnet.

Ensuring connectivity using a VPN connection

Pattern using a VPN connection

An additional device is required for a VPN connection.

20.2.3.1 Ensuring Connectivity with Instance for Client

In the pattern using an instance for a client, to ensure the connectivity between a terminal directly operated by a user and the management view, prepare an instance for the management view client deployed in the public subnet. The system component for a VPN connection is not required and the configuration may be simple.

When selecting this architectural pattern, a user connects to a client of the management view via a remote desktop connection.

20.2.3.2 Ensuring Connectivity Using VPN Connection

In the pattern using a VPN connection, to ensure the connectivity between a terminal directly operated by a user and the management view, a VPN connection is used. No instances other than the management view are required in the VPC. This pattern is also secure because it does not use public subnets.

When selecting this architectural pattern, a terminal directly operated by a user is a client of the management view.

To provide a VPN connection, the VPN must be set or a device is required in the network where the terminal directly operated by a user is deployed.
