Proxy

Proxies help the OneCloud platform access cloud platforms that cannot be reached directly due to network or other issues.

Use cases:

• Google Cloud requires a proxy to be accessed
• China Telecom Cloud requires the public IP used for access to be added to a whitelist before direct access
• OneCloud is deployed in an intranet environment and needs a proxy to access public cloud platforms on the internet

Proxy usage rules:

• When a cloud account has no proxy set, it uses a direct connection
• When the request URL is https, the https proxy is preferred; if the https proxy is not set, the http proxy is used
• In all other cases, the http proxy is used

Entry: On the cloud management platform, click the navigation menu in the upper left, then in the left sidebar click “Resource Management / Multi-Cloud Management / Proxy” to open the Proxy page.
