About Cloud Connector Groups

Cloud Connector Groups are automatically created when a Zscaler Cloud Connector is deployed in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Cloud Connector Groups provide the following benefits and enable you to:

  • Apply policies to a group of deployed Cloud Connectors.
  • Upgrade Cloud Connectors belonging to a group to maintain redundancy while upgrades are being executed.

About the Cloud Connector Groups Page

On the Cloud Connector Groups page (Infrastructure > Connectors > Cloud > Cloud Connector Groups), you can do the following:

  1. View the following details of the Cloud Connector Group.
    • Name: The name of the Cloud Connector Group.
    • Cloud Provider Type: The cloud provider, which can be AWS, Azure, or GCP.
    • Location: The location where the Cloud Connector Group is deployed.
    • Availability Zone: The availability zone where the Cloud Connector is deployed.

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.
