Connect a Nucleus Server to Omniverse Cloud PaaS

Overview

Connecting an Enterprise Nucleus Server to Omniverse Cloud PaaS can be performed in one of two ways as explained below:

• Azure Private Link Service - This is ideal for and only should be used when your Enterprise Nucleus Server is hosted within Microsoft Azure.

• Nucleus Bridge - This is used when your Enterprise Nucleus Server is hosted on-prem, hosted on a non-Microsoft Azure Cloud Service Provider (CSP), or if you choose not to use the Azure Private Link Service.

Azure Private Link Service

If the Nucleus server is deployed as a virtual machine in Azure, a Private Link Service can be created to ensure connectivity from the Omniverse App running in Omniverse Cloud PaaS. This is accomplished by creating a Private Link Service and providing NVIDIA two pieces of information which include:

1. Nucleus Hostname and DNS name.

2. Private Link Service Subscription ID.

Additional documentation for setting up the Private Link Service is here.

Creating a Private Link Service in front of the Nucleus VM

The Private Link Service requires a Load Balancer for a target. The Load Balancer sits in front of the Enterprise Nucleus Server VM. The Load Balancer has its own subnet and IP Address:

Click Add load balancing, Create new, followed by Load Balancer on the Nucleus VM:

Click Internal for Load Balancer type and enter 443 for the Port and Backend port:

After creating the Load Balancer, ensure the LB (Load Balancer) rules are set to High Availability Ports because this is required to support additional ports for Nucleus connectivity:

The final configuration will look similar to the image below:

Obtain the Subscription ID

The Subscription ID needs to be sent to NVIDIA. To access it, navigate to the PLS (Private Link Service):

Click JSON View and then copy your Subscription ID found in line 3 in the image below:

Nucleus Bridge
