hi adron, thanks for the reply, my current setup is simple, i have an node.js/express website, where users can register and add content to mongodb hosted on AppFog with Redis used for sessions. i like to move this over to riak.
i was looking at http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/cookbooks/Network-Security-and-Firewall-Configurations/and it states that clients should be able to communicate to port 8089 or 8087 depending on what back-end you use, that is fine i understand this. so in my case the client is the application on AppFog which 'talks' to the riak cluster (CRUD) where i am unsure/uneasy, is that AppFog uses a global IP address, so 176.34.147.242 with af-eu01-1982654436.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com, as i chose AWS for the deployment, but if i open the firewall to this IP address then anyone with an AppFog application on AWS would be able to access my riak cluster! or am i missing something? any advice much appreciated.
