Hi there, <br />
<br />
I am doing some ASA work as a backup resource and I have not touched ASA in a longtime but here is the scenario, <br />
I have some servers that are moving to the cloud and they all have public IP. <br />
I know from the ASA configuration anything from the inside network(trusted) can go out to outside(untrusted). Do I need to create an access rule for this to connect to these servers in the cloud? <br />
<br />
Another requirement is that these servers may &nbsp;access some resources internally, like our AD or DNS, what do I need to do on the ASA for this to work. <br />
<br />
Thank you,

Firewall rules from inside to outside

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
