If I had a cloud server, I'd name it 'Fluffy' or 'Sunshine' - just to keep things cheerful, you know?

Option D? Really? Opening more firewall ports is just asking for trouble. Let's steer clear of that one.

Manually configuring the connections in option A sounds like a lot of work. I'd rather find a more automated solution if possible.

I'm not sure about that. Increasing the polling intervals in option C might be a better solution to avoid any performance issues with the cloud connections.

Hmm, I think option B is the way to go. Switching to SNMP polling should give us the visibility we need to see the connections between the on-site and cloud resources.

But wouldn't opening additional firewall ports between the cloud servers and on-site devices be more secure?
