Set up and configuration
Before adding a cloud service instance
Micetro communicates with the cloud services through Men&Mice Central (IPAM) and the Men&Mice DNS controller (DNS).
Before continuing, make sure:
The DNS controller is installed and set up on the machine running Men&Mice Central. See Server controllers.
The machine running central can connect to the specific cloud instance on port 443/TCP. See Networking requirements.
