ECS
Deployment Requirements

If you want to deploy
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
on top of an
ECS
cluster, the
ECS
cluster must meet specific criteria.
Following is a list of the
ECS
components that you must deploy.
  • An
    ECS
    Admin Service HTTPS API endpoint accessible from the internal network of
    VMware Cloud Director
    . By default, the endpoint is configured to use port 4443.
  • ECS
    S3 Service
    accessible from the internal network of
    VMware Cloud Director
    . By default, the S3 service uses port 9021 for SSL communication.
  • ECS Management Console
    accessible from external networks.
To synchronize the clocks of all
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
and
ECS
nodes, use the same NTP server.
