Attach Public IP

The AccuWeb.Cloud platform offers users a Shared Load Balancer (SLB) as the default singular entry point for all hosted applications, residing on the hardware nodes. However, for environments in production, it is advisable to handle requests through Public IP addresses, establishing a direct link between the Internet and a specific container. This method ensures a more secure and efficient interaction compared to SLB access.

Public IPs can be linked to any software stack within your environment, except for the Memcached node, providing a more robust solution with reduced susceptibility to interference from other applications. Moreover, it grants access to features such as the FTP add-on, Custom SSL, remote debugging from IDE, and WebSockets.

The platform supports Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) of the Internet Protocol. Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), marking the fourth iteration in IP development and the initial widely deployed version.

To associate an external IP address with a specific node, you must activate Public IPv4 in the central section of the topology wizard window.

Considerations

Enabling Public IPv4 automatically disables the Access via SLB feature by default, potentially leading to a brief (a few minutes) disruption in environment accessibility due to the DNS cache.

To locate and manage the allocated IP in the current environment, expand the relevant node string in the environment topology list.

Hovering over IPs grants access to the following functionalities:

• Copy to Clipboard: Instantly copy the appropriate address.
• Detach IP: Removes a specific address.
