RHCOS enabled locations with reduced firewall in Osaka
Review the following network requirements for outbound connectivity for hosts in a minimum internet access location in the Osaka (jp-osa) region. Because this type of location requires a single network destination instead of multiple
destinations, it reduces the number of outbound IP addresses that you must allow from your firewall. For more information, see Creating Red Hat CoreOS enabled Locations with reduced firewall footprint.
You can verify your host setup with the satellite-host-check script. For more information, see Checking your host setup.
