The console (be it Jopr or Embedded Jopr) never connects to a managed
resource itself, but the agent-plugin does this. So you could e.g. have
an agent running within EC2 that has the Infinispan plugin, which talks to
all the cache nodes and the server UI would run in the enterprise and would
talk to that agent.

The most difficult part would be to get the naming of the individual IS 
instances
on the various hosts right (*) - especially when only one agent is 
managing multiple
instances.

(*) The name of a resource must not change on the next discovery run. 
That is
why for example the process id is not allowed, as a process restart 
would find a
different resource and the existing one would be marked as down.
