Watch a video about Cloud Provisioning Templates.

The cloud provisioning URL is a prerequisite for deploying the Cloud Connector as a virtual machine (VM) in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). To obtain a provisioning URL, you must configure the provisioning template.

You must use the same provisioning URL for the Cloud Connector VMs deployed in a single Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

About the Cloud Provisioning Template Page

On the Cloud Provisioning Templates page (Administration > Provisioning Templates > Cloud Provisioning), you can do the following:

1. Add a Cloud Connector Provisioning Template.
2. View a list of all cloud provisioning templates that are configured for your organization.
   • Template Name: The name of the template.
   • Cloud Provider Type: The Cloud Provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
   • Status: The status of the template deployment.
   • VM Size: The size of the virtual machine.

   • Auto Scaling: The status of auto scaling (i.e., True or False). Zscaler supports Auto Scaling in AWS and Azure, but does not support Auto Scaling for GCP.

     In the AWS Marketplace, Auto Scaling is referred to as Auto Scaling. In the Azure Marketplace, Auto Scaling is referred to as Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS). In the Zscaler Cloud & Branch Connector Admin Portal, references to Auto Scaling also refer to VMSS. To enable Auto Scaling or VMSS, contact Zscaler Support.

   • Last Modified By: The last admin to modify the template.
   • Last Modified On: The date and time the template was last modified.
