Scenario Description
In modern enterprises, cross-datacenter and hybrid cloud environments often face the challenge of network isolation, preventing direct access to resources in different geographical locations. When users perform cross-regional operations, they frequently encounter cumbersome manual configurations and security verifications, increasing management complexity and potential security risks. To address this challenge, JumpServer offers a Zone feature that introduces gateway servers, providing a centralized login entry point that simplifies cross-environment access processes. Users only need to authenticate through the gateway to securely and efficiently access resources distributed across various datacenters or cloud platforms. This solution not only enhances connectivity convenience but also strengthens overall security, meeting enterprises' demands for flexibility and security.
Function Description
The Zone feature is designed to address connectivity issues in certain environments (such as cross-datacenter and hybrid cloud scenarios) where direct connections are not possible. It works by allowing JumpServer to perform jump logins to target assets through a gateway server.
Configuration Description
