System and method for deploying a dynamic virtual network address translation appliance

摘要

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for deploying a virtual network address translation (NAT) appliance includes receiving a request to generate a virtual machine environment. The method also includes generating the virtual machine environment from an environment template, the virtual machine environment comprising a first virtual machine. The method further includes configuring a hostname for a virtual NAT appliance instance, and configuring one or more private network settings for the virtual NAT appliance instance. The method also includes generating the virtual NAT appliance instance from the NAT appliance template, the NAT appliance instance comprising a public network interface and a private network interface.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a first request to generate a first virtual machine environment; generating the first virtual machine environment by cloning an environment template, the environment template comprising a first plurality of virtual machines comprising a web server image and a database server image; receiving a second request to generate a second virtual machine environment; generating the second virtual machine environment by cloning the environment template; wherein the environment template, the first virtual machine environment and the second virtual machine environment each comprise a common hostname; configuring first and second hostnames different from the common hostname for first and second virtual network address translation (NAT) appliance instances, respectively; configuring first and second private network settings for the first and second virtual NAT appliance instances, respectively; generating the first and second virtual NAT appliance instances from a NAT appliance template, the NAT appliance template comprising a public network interface and a private network interface; logically deploying the first virtual NAT appliance instance between the first virtual machine environment and a network; and logically deploying the second virtual NAT appliance instance between the second virtual machine environment and the network.
