Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?

The CloudConnector plugin is a Panorama® plugin that establishes and maintains a secure channel between your Panorama appliance and Strata Cloud Manager (SCM). After you install and configure the plugin, it allows SCM to share snippet-based configurations directly to Panorama, keeping your on-premises and cloud-managed policies synchronized without manual intervention.
The plugin provides the following capabilities:
  • SCM-Panorama Configuration Sync — Enables Strata Cloud Manager to synchronize snippet configurations to Panorama device groups and templates.
  • Secure communication — Uses a Thermite device certificate to authenticate all traffic between Panorama and Strata Cloud Manager.
  • Regional endpoint routing — Connects to the correct SCM admin cluster URL for your deployment region.
