CSM Proxy Image details

In the Image URI field of the CSM Proxy Network page, you can provide your Docker image path from the private repository to create Fargate containers. Image from the private repository is supported for AWS and Azure accounts.

If the path is not provided, the latest default image path from the Dell public repository https://hub.docker.com/r/dellemc/powerprotect-csmproxy is used.

Depending on the location of the CSM Proxy image, the following changes have to be made:

For AWS, if the:

  • CSM Proxy image from another cloud account is used - Provide the existing cloud account (where the proxy configuration is set) access to copy the image from the other cloud account. For more information, see https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/secondary-account-access-ecr. Since the image is copied from another cloud account, the VPC endpoint of Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) will not work. So, to copy the image, the VPC requires Internet access either using the Internet gateway or the NAT gateway.
  • CSM Proxy image from the same cloud account but a different region is used - Since the image is copied from a different region, the VPC endpoint of ECR will not work. So, to copy the image, the VPC requires Internet access either using the Internet gateway or the NAT gateway.
For Azure:
  • Pull the latest version of the image from the above mentioned docker hub Dell Public Repository to your local region ACR (Azure Container Registry). Provide the Image URI of the ACR Image while setting the proxy configuration for the Azure Cloud Account in CSM. For CSM to pull up this image from ACR, provide the anonymous pull access, for more details see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/anonymous-pull-access.
    NOTE:  ACR Anonymous pull access is in the preview mode from Azure.
