Cloud Environment Parameters

The parameters relating to when the device is deployed in a cloud environment are described in the table below.

Cloud Environment Parameters

Parameter

Description

'AWS EC2 Endpoint'

configure network > network-settings > aws-ec2-endpoint

[AwsEc2Endpoint]

Defines the Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 endpoint name.

The parameter can be configured to one of the following values:

■ Empty (default): The device automatically generates the AWS EC2 API endpoint based on the region in which it is deployed (e.g., "ec2.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com").

Note: High-Availability (HA) deployments in AWS environments use AWS EC2 API to implement IP failover. If two SBC instances are deployed in separate availability zones within the same region, the same AWS EC2 API endpoint will be used for both availability zones. In such a scenario, all traffic towards the AWS EC2 API endpoint will flow through the first availability zone, even for virtual machines deployed in the second availability zone.

■ Custom EC2 API endpoint FQDN (e.g., "vpce-0123456789.ec2.eu-central-1.vpce.amazonaws.com").
■ Custom EC2 API endpoint FQDN followed by its IP address (e.g., "ec2.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com:10.1.2.3").

Note: The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on the AWS cloud platform.

configure network > network-settings > interface-status-check

[NetworkInterfaceStatusCheck]

When the device is deployed in Azure cloud, it may experience intermittent problems in communication with virtual hosts that may cause the virtual network interface (NIC) to "freeze". To overcome this issue, the device can periodically check the status of all network interfaces to detect if this condition exists and mitigate it by performing a maintenance reboot.

■ [0] = Disable
■ [1] = Enable

Note: The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on the Azure cloud platform.

'Maintenance Events Monitoring Enable'

configure network > cloud-settings > monitoring-maintenance-events

[MaintenanceEventsMonitoringEnable]

Enables the device to monitor the cloud platform's scheduled maintenance events for virtual machines on which the device is installed.

■ [0] Disable
■ [1] Enable (default)

For more information, see Monitoring Cloud Scheduled VM Maintenance Events.

Note: The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

'Maintenance Events Treatment Enable'

configure network > cloud-settings > treatment-maintenance-events

[MaintenanceEventsTreatmentEnable]

Enables the device to perform a switchover (active to standby for HA systems, or move sessions to a different Media Component for Mediant CE's Elastic Media Cluster mode) before a scheduled maintenance event on the virtual machine of the cloud platform.

■ [0] Disable (default)
■ [1] Enable

For more information, see Monitoring Cloud Scheduled VM Maintenance Events.

Note:

■ For this feature to be functional, you also need to configure the 'Maintenance Events Monitoring Enable' parameter to Enable.
■ The parameter is applicable only to Mediant VE/CE deployed on Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
