Support and Versions for Third-Party Products

Multicloud Defense works with additional products and functions. To ensure optimal operation, use the versions listed here.

Internet Browsers

Currently Multicloud Defense supports and recommends that you use a Chrome browser to access the Controller dashboard.

Instance Metadata Service For AWS

Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) allows access to instance metadata from Amazon EC2 instances. For Multicloud Defense Controller version 23.10, the IMDSv2 is set to Required or Optional, based on the Multicloud Defense Gateway version you use.

We strongly recommend upgrading to a Multicloud Defense Gateway version that specifically supports IMDSv2 in the Required mode for optimal security with Amazon EC2 instances.

Note
The Multicloud Defense Controller version 23.10 forces Multicloud Defense Gateway versions 23.04 and later to default to IMDSv2 for EC2 instances.

Use the information in the table below to determine which IMDS version will be set up in your EC2 instance:
