Issue:
Does Linux Security 64 support the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Auto Scaling environment?
Resolution:
Yes. The AWS Auto Scaling works and it is supported in Linux Security 64 with Policy Manager, provided new UID is generated for new host when auto scaling.
For an optimal flow you will have to consider adjusting the unique hardware information of the virtualized system, from which the device Host-ID* is generated and when a host is to be considered as disconnected. This will help to sort quicker and more efficient, which host can be manually or automatically removed from the Policy Manager Console domain structure.
Device Host-ID (UID) under Linux Security 64
Linux Security 64 derives the Unique ID (UID) from the unique information provided by the hardware. Most virtualization platforms emulate the unique hardware information as well so every clone should be unique. This UID cannot be cleared or changed.
The unique hardware ID can be seen with the command:
cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
Currently there is no possibility from within Linux Security 64 to clear UID as it comes from the operating system.
Import rules to the Policy Manager
Import rules need to be configured in Policy Manager so that the new created host will be automatically imported when connected to Policy Manager Server.
