Cloud Deployment of APM 10.8

Products

Issue/Introduction

I am checking a feasibility of deploying APM 10.8 in a public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP).

Initially, I want to deploy the APM components in a separate VPC and then allow access from other VPCs for the application agents.

is there a proxy that I could deploy into VPC where the monitored applications are running, so from the network firewall rules point of view I could allow only this proxy IP to connect to the APM EM and the APM agents in the VPC will be connecting to the APM EM via this proxy?

Environment

APM 10.8

Resolution

1) It is possible to install APM 10.8 on public cloud

Example:

2) No official proxy exist to allow agents to connect to APM 10.8 EM
