Setting up your network configuration

You can use NiFi's site-to-site capabilities over a RAW TCP or over an HTTP network configuration. For this use case, you must configure site-to-site using HTTP over TLS. This has the advantage of using the NiFi port, which is also used to access the NiFi UI and APIs.

For the purpose of this use case, set up your site-to-site network configurations with the following assumptions:

• You are not using site-to-site through any proxy configuration
• You have a direct connection on port 8443 between NiFi nodes on your Cloudera Base on premises and Cloudera on cloud clusters

Set up your network configuration according to your architecture and requirements. For more information, see your Cloud provider documentation.

In this use case, NiFi on Cloudera Base on premises is responsible for initiating the site-to-site connection between the two environments to push and pull data to and from the NiFi cluster in Cloudera on cloud. The NiFi nodes in Cloudera on cloud must be reachable on port 8443 from the NiFi nodes in Cloudera Base on premises, but not necessarily the other way around.
