Can You Provide Me a Summary of What to Do to Get a Private Access to Open Telekom Cloud in General?
- Create an architecture including physical links, VPC structure, IP address scheme, security and redundancy model
- Inform your internal IT department and your Open Telekom Cloud administrator to check and be prepared
- Decide what WAN architecture you want to use and which provider you prefer
- Ask your provider whether they are able to support you with access to Open Telekom Cloud
- Now you have a plan
- Agree a contract with your network provider and see how long they need for implementation
- Depending on the duration for the network part, start with deploying Direct Connect in your VPC
- Also create PLAS with your preferred option for ports and bandwidth
- Inform your security and IT departments that they need to set up config for eBGP on edge router/firewall
- Check that the firewalls in your local network are open for the IP address used (your address space)
- When everything is ready: check your connectivity
- If ok: great; if not: open a ticket to find out whether the failure is caused by your external network or Open Telekom Cloud
