Telstra Cloud Sight Homepage
Log in as an Admin or Manager at workspace layer or higher. You'll see any clouds and associated services you've already added on the 'Cloud services' page (home page).
Prerequisites:
You'll need the following to make use of your Cloud Connector.
- A Telstra Next IP® network. If you don't have one, contact us to begin the purchasing process. This could take up to 10 business days.
- A cloud service compatible with Cloud Sight (Azure or AWS).
After your Cloud Connector is added to Cloud Sight, you'll need to link it to your Next IP network and one or more clouds. More details can be found in the follow-up steps.
Note
- Additional costs may apply when linking your Cloud Connector to a cloud. e.g. You'll need to purchase an Azure ExpressRoute for linking Cloud Connector to an Azure cloud.
-
Currently the Cloud Connector only supports private peering.
