Cloud deployment

Deploying Cayosoft Administrator in the cloud can be a viable solution for organizations utilizing cloud-only environments or running Active Directory Domain Controllers (DCs) within an internal Azure network. This article provides guidance for deploying Cayosoft Administrator in an Azure Virtual Machine (VM) as part of your overall deployment strategy.

Deploying Cayosoft Administrator in a cloud environment can present challenges, particularly when connecting to on-premises Active Directory. Below are key considerations and requirements for this deployment scenario:

Connectivity to on-premises Active Directory

Cloud deployment is ideal for customers who already have a network configuration that allows secure connectivity to their on-premises Active Directory.

Alternatively, customers can use a cloud-based Domain Controller (DC) to which the cloud-hosted VM (where Cayosoft Administrator will be installed) can connect.

IMPORTANT: Customers are responsible for organizing and managing access to their on-premises Active Directory or cloud-based DCs. Cayosoft Administrator does not provide connectivity tools for these scenarios. This differs from Cayosoft Guardian, which includes the AD Connector feature to simplify access to Active Directory.

Access to additional services

If your configuration requires additional services, such as:

• Third-party databases (e.g., for importing users)

  OR

• Custom folders/file storages (e.g., for storing Cayosoft Administrator reports)

You must independently configure and manage access to these resources. Cayosoft Administrator does not handle this setup.
