Satellite Connector FAQ
Does Satellite Connector support Cloud Endpoints?
At this time, Satellite Connector only supports On Location endpoints to access your resources on-prem from IBM Cloud.
How can I restrict access to my endpoints?
You can set up ACL rules to restrict access to your endpoints. When you create your link endpoint, select an existing ACL rule or create a new ACL rule to control which clients can access location endpoint resources. If no ACL rule is selected, any client that is connected to the IBM Cloud private network can use the endpoint to connect to the destination resource that runs in your location.
I created an ACL for my Connector, why doesn't it take effect?
Make sure you apply the ACL to the endpoint you want to use it against.
What IAM permissions do I need for Connectors?
To create a Connector, you need Administrator Platform role for Satellite. To connect an Agent to an existing Connector, you need Viewer Platform role or Reader Service role for Satellite.
How many Connectors are supported per account per region?
You can have a maximum of 25 Connectors per account per region.
How many endpoints are supported per Connector?
You can have a maximum of 25 endpoints per Connector.
How many instances of Connector agent can I run?
As a best practice, run no more than 6 agents per Connector.
Can I deploy Satellite Connectors within IBM Cloud?
Connectors are generally not recommended for use within IBM Cloud except for specific use cases. Please contact your IBM account team if you believe you need this support for your solution.
