Question 1

Using Security Groups

Accepted Answer

Overview

By default, virtual machines are created with a default security group that does not permit any inbound access. This is by design to prevent any unauthorized access, and to enable our customers to have full control over their security policy. With that, new virtual machines created will not have any inbound connectivity from the Internet to receive pings, web requests, or to be managed via ssh.

${vimeo}Using Security Groups with Gozunga Cloud

Create Security Group

First, we have to create a security group that can later be applied to a cloud server instance

From our Cloud Management Portal, select Networking -> Security Groups
Click ' Create Security Group'
Enter a Name for your security group (i.e. Allow Inbound SSH from Corporate Office), and an optional description
Click into your security group, then select Add Rule
From this screen, you may add a rule for the service you're looking to add.

An example for SSH, add rules as follows:

| Field | Value | | ---- | | Rule | Custom Protocol | | Description | Allow Inbound SSH | | Direction | Ingress | | Open Port | Port | | Port | 22 | | Protocol | TCP | | Remote | CIDR | | CIDR | 0.0.0.0/0 | | Ether Type | IPv4 |

||| Note: We do not currently support IPv6

Apply Security Group

Next, we apply the security group we made to an instance for it to take effect

Question 6

Infrastructure Networking

Accepted Answer

This guide explains how to set up and manage networks in Gozunga Cloud, ensuring secure and efficient connectivity for your resources.

Network Basics

Overview

Virtual machine instances on the Gozunga Cloud platform can have multiple network ports, ranging from Internet access, to any number of internal private networks as needed by your applications. Networks work in that they contain one or more subnets. For example, you may make an Internal network, with a subnet for app, and another for db, to introduce segmentation and different IP subnets. These subnets interconnect via virtual routers, where you can apply policy and other access control to meet your needs.

|| Virtual Machine instances include 1 Internet IPv4 address. You will be subject to additional fees for IP addresses in excess of the included IP if you add additional Internet ports

Virtual Networks

Private, isolated networks for your cloud resources.

Creating a Network

Navigate to Networking → Networks
Click "Create Network"
Specify:
- Network name
- Description
