This README serves as a quick start guide to deploy Zscaler Cloud Connector resources in an AWS cloud using AWS CloudFormation templates. To learn more about the resources created when deploying Cloud Connector with CloudFormation, see Deployment Templates for Zscaler Cloud Connector.

Use this repository to create the deployment resources required to deploy and operate Cloud Connector in an existing virtual private cloud (VPC). To learn more about the steps for deploying Cloud Connector using a CloudFormation template, see Deploying Cloud Connector with Amazon Web Services.

Before deploying your Cloud Connectors using CloudFormation, you must upload the Pre-Deployment Template to the AWS CloudFormation console to create a Pre-Deployment Template Stack.

Use the Starter Deployment Template to create the resources needed to deploy and operate Cloud Connector in an existing VPC.

Use the Add-on Template with ZPA to create the resources needed to enable the ZPA DNS resolver capability on Cloud Connector in an existing VPC.

Use the Add-on Template with GWLB to distribute traffic across multiple Cloud Connectors and achieve high availability. Zscaler's recommended deployment method is Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB)
