Cloud Volumes ONTAP Deployment and Configuration

Question

A company is configuring NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP in Azure. All outbound Internet access is blocked by default. The company wants to allow outbound Internet access for the following NetApp AutoSupport endpoints:

Explanation

NetApp AutoSupport requires outbound access to specific endpoints for delivering support data, and this communication occurs over HTTPS (port 443). The two provided NetApp AutoSupport URLs are accessed via secure HTTP (HTTPS), so the company must configure routing and firewall policies to allow outbound HTTPS traffic. Blocking HTTPS traffic by default would prevent the AutoSupport service from functioning, which is critical for sending diagnostic information to NetApp support for monitoring and troubleshooting. Options like NFS/SMB traffic (B), SSH/RDP traffic (C), and DNS traffic (D) are irrelevant in this context, as AutoSupport only requires secure web traffic via HTTPS.
