Limitations and constraints
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. We **don't want** to **grant access** to the :samp:`External Host` to
|
||||
anybody.
|
||||
2. We **don't want** to manage VPNs or any similar solutions to access to :samp:`Internal Host` from the Internet.
|
||||
3. We **want to limit the actions** that an user can perform in our intranet while it is checking if :samp:`Internal Host` is alive.
|
||||
4. We **want** to use the most standard mechanism. Easy to use and that facilitates the automation.
|
||||
5. We **don't have a budget** to invest in a custom solution.

What options we have?
|

---------------------
|

|
||||
Alter analyzyng the problem and our goal we conclude that is enough
|
||||
**to use a simple** :samp:`ping` **to** :samp:`Internal Host`.

Accessing via SSH to :samp:`External Host`
|
||||
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||||
|
||||
If we choose this option then we need to create a user and grant him access
|
||||
via :samp:`SSH` to :samp:`External Host` for every person that needs to
|
||||
check for :samp:`Internal host` status.
