Remote management
------------------

**Remote access**

- Remote access is required for …

  1. Developers to access deploy/test environments (credentials to be issued per POD / user)
  2. Connection of each environment to Jenkins master hosted by Linux Foundation for automated deployment and test

- OpenVPN is generally used for remote however community hosted labs may vary due to company security rules
- POD access rules / restrictions …

  - Refer to individual test-bed as each company may have different access rules and acceptable usage policies

- Basic requirement is for SSH sessions to be established (initially on jump server)
- Majority of packages installed on a system (tools or applications) will be pulled from an external repo.

Firewall rules should include

- SSH sessions
