Cloud Connector Overview
CCE was first released in April of 2016 and there have been 3 minor updates or versions so far. The next major version (2.0) is probably coming early next year.
CCE should be seen as a "black box", i.e. do not change the topology, scripts, software or anything really. CCE deploys in approximately 7 hours (or 45 min if you get it as an appliance.)
CCE is scaled for 70 percent internal traffic, that is media not going through edge component of CCE, and 30 percent external traffic. It is not designed to be used in hosting scenarios.
CCE do not support media bypass, custom dialplans or co-existence with on-prem S4B Pools.
The presentation continued with technical details around the installation of CCE.
Interesting to see new "cc-commands" like Install-CcAppliance, rather than the good old "cs-commands".
