Network Type Check for Synchronization Tasks

Rule Details

Application Scenarios

Data synchronization means real-time transfer of critical workload data. It can transfer data from one source to the other while keeping data consistent. Real-time synchronization is different from data migration. Migration means moving your whole database from one platform to another. Synchronization refers to the continuous flow of data between different workloads. For details, see Synchronization Overview.

Use secure networks, such as VPN, instead of EIP networks to transmit data. Reduce the attack surface and improve the security of the data synchronization network by configuring firewalls, security groups, and ACL rules. For details, see Security Best Practices.

Solution

When creating a synchronization task, do not set the Network Type to Public network.

Rule Logic

• If the network type of a synchronization task is public network, this task is non-compliant.
• If the network type of a synchronization task is not public network, this task is compliant.
