Deployment Templates for Branch Connector & App Connector

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment templates are available in GitHub to assist in the deployment of Zscaler Branch Connector or Branch Connector & App Connector in VMware ESXi or Linux KVM. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment templates are not available for Branch Connector deployment on Hyper-V platforms.

Downloading a Branch Connector image or a Branch Connector & App Connector image is one of the tasks you must complete before deployment. To learn more, see Downloading Branch Connector Images.

VMware ESXi Deployment Templates

You can use the following deployment templates for VMware ESXi:

  • Terraform: Use this repository to create the deployment resources required to deploy and operate Branch Connector or Branch Connector & App Connector.
    • Use the Starter Deployment Template (bc) to deploy your Branch Connector. The following resources are created:

      • Zscaler Branch Connector virtual machine (VM)
      • Key pair for SSH access
      • Management interface
      • Service interface
    • Use the Starter Deployment Template with High-Availability (bc_ha) to deploy your Branch Connector with high availability. The following resources are created:

      • Two Zscaler Branch Connector VMs
      • Key pair for SSH access
      • Two Management interfaces
      • Two Service interfaces
      Close
    • Use the Starter Deployment Template with App Connector (bc_ac) to deploy your Branch Connector & App Connector. The following resources are created:

      • Zscaler Branch Connector VM
      • Key Pair for SSH access
      • Management interface
      • Service interface
      • Control interface
      • App Connector provisioning key
      Close
    • Use the Starter Deployment Template with App Connector and High-Availability (bc_ha_ac) to deploy your Branch Connector & App Connector with high availability. The following resources are created:

      • Two Zscaler Branch Connector VMs
      • Key pair for SSH access
      • Two Management interfaces
      • Two Service interfaces
      • Two Control interfaces
      • App Connector provisioning key
      Close

Linux Deployment Templates

You can use the following deployment templates for Linux:

  • Terraform: Use this repository to create the deployment resources required to deploy and operate Branch Connector or Branch Connector & App Connector.
