Note
You can designate the Grid Master (with the Cloud Network Automation license), an on-premises Cloud Platform appliance, or an Infoblox vNIOS for AWS instance (with the Cloud Platform license) as the API Proxy for AWS. Appliances with the Cloud Platform license (on a Grid member) or the Cloud Network Automation license (on the Grid Master) are the only instances eligible to operate as the AWS API Proxy.
Infoblox recommends setting up your AWS API Proxy to be in close proximity to the systems that act as clients to communicate with the API Proxy.
You can use Grid Manager (the NIOS GUI) to set up an appliance as an AWS API Proxy. The following configurations support AWS API Proxy:
- Grid Master (requires the Cloud Network Automation license)
- Grid Member (requires the Cloud Platform license)
The appliance acting as the API Proxy may be located in the AWS VPC or be an on-premises appliance.
You can also set up a proxy server as the AWS API proxy. For information about how to configure a proxy server, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.
