ECS Deployment Requirements

If you want to deploy VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension on top of an ECS cluster, the ECS cluster must meet specific criteria.

Following is a list of the ECS components that you must deploy.

• An ECS Admin Service HTTPS API endpoint accessible from the internal network of VMware Cloud Director. By default, the endpoint is configured to use port 4443.
• ECS S3 Service accessible from the internal network of VMware Cloud Director. By default, the S3 service uses port 9021 for SSL communication.
• ECS Management Console accessible from external networks.

To synchronize the clocks of all VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension and ECS nodes, use the same NTP server.
