For some security requirements, I’ve been asked if it’s possible to segregate the hosted engine from the physical nodes, with specific firewalling for access to do node/ storage operations (I’m using managed block storage).

 

Is this an approach others us, or is it better practice and just ensure the nodes and engine are all sharing the same network?


The hosted-engine needs to communicate with the hosts for management operations; this happens over a logical network called management network.
The hosts have to communicate with the storage, you can create an additional logical network with different addressing for that; the engine doesn't need any direct access to the storage which is always mediated by the hosts.

For simplicity, if feasible in your environment, I'd suggest to create an additional storage dedicated logical network on your hosts instead of playing with manual injected firewall rules over the management one.

 

 

Thanks,
