BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud introduces a new workflow that streamlines the Data Connector deployment process. You can now deploy the Data Connector as an on-prem host through the Cloud Services Portal on bare-metal containers or virtual machines using the Docker or OVA package that Infoblox provides.

Before you configure a virtual machine as the Data Connector, you must first create a join token and use it to authenticate the on-prem host, so BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud can establish a connection to the host. For information about join tokens and how to manage them, see Managing Join Tokens for Data ConnectorsOnce you set up the virtual appliance using a valid join token, a connection to BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud is established, and the host status changes to Active (if the host and all the services running on it are functioning properly). The on-prem host is now a fully manageable device, and you can manage it through the Cloud Services Portal.

Infoblox recommends that you use Docker version 17.09 or below (except for 17.05 and 17.06), or version 18.09 or above, 08 to avoid an issue in which the Docker container might re-deploy continuously, resulting in multiple deployments of the on-prem host. In addition, Kubernetes is not supported.
