Connect to a VCS instance: Prerequisites

Step 1. Create a public IP address

Please create a public IP to your VCS instance before connecting to it from the Internet. Once a public IP is assigned to the instance, it is recommended to configure the Security Group to protect your instance and reduce the information security risk.

info

For more information about using public IP, please refer to Elastic IP.
