What is a Connector

The Apono Connector is an on-prem connection that can be used to connect resources to Apono and separate the Apono web app from the environment for security purposes.

You can view the recommended AWS Installation Architecture, Azure Installation Architecture, or GCP Installation Architecture.

Automatic Installation

Using AWS CloudFormation or GCP Deployment Manager, the Connector is seamlessly installed in the environment.

Advanced Installation

You can also choose to install the Connector on an EKS or a Kubernetes cluster yourself.
