In addition to the guidelines in other sections, consider the following recommendations while deploying eDirectory on cloud platforms, such as Amazon Web Services EC2 and Microsoft Azure.
If you use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or RHEL service, ensure that operating system is updated with the latest patch. Operating system packages must be up to date at all times.
Do not use keys with less than 1024 bits in size on port 22.
Install eDirectory on a private subnet. For information about protecting the console in a cloud environment, see Deploying eDirectory on Amazon Web Services EC2 or Deploying eDirectory on Microsoft Azure based on your requirement.
