You can use either a CloudFormation template, Terraform template or a Helm chart to install Traffic aggregator in your env.
To install using Terraform, use the Terraform script here.
Please make sure you install it in a private subnet from your application VPC.
This private subnet should also have network connectivity (typically via NAT).
You can use https://cyborg.akto.io
as DatabaseAbstractorUrl
. For DatabaseAbstractorToken
you can copy it from the helm install command in the above screenshot.
Once complete, copy akto_nlb_dns
from the output.
The next step is to install a traffic connector.
You can use the above copied AktoNLBIP
as AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL
in your traffic connectors. Note that AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL
is inclusive of port (eg akto-N-.....amazonaws.com:9092
)
For AKTO_MONGO_CONN
, you can use mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017/admini
.
To install using CloudFormation, run the Cloudformation template here.
