More Secure SQL Server on VM DB (CDC) source to an eventstream directions?
I'm trying to find directions on a more secure method of allowing Eventstream to access an internal SQL Database. I don't want to allow just any IP address to access our SQL Server from the internet,...
These are the directions from the document that I linked.
Server: Enter the publicly accessible IP address or domain name of your VM, and then add a colon and the port. For example, if your IP address is xx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the port is 1433, then you should enter xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1433 in the Server field. If the port isn't specified, the default port value 1433 is used.
Nothing about that is secure, it's asking me to expose my SQL server to the public internet. If the SQL server pushed data to Eventstream I wouldn't need to expose 1433 to the public internet, I would configure the SQL Server not the Eventstream connection.
