- You can select a floating IP (public IP) at creation time to access the server over the internet, or attach one later under Network/Floating IP.
- See the detailed guide here.
Access the server
- Configure the Network ACL here to create an inbound rule that allows the public IP.
- SSH into the server using the SSH key or password set when it was created.
- This guide also covers setting up a jump host for most security configurations.
Notifications
- After accessing the FPT Cloud Console, verify the tenant and region. AI Factory is only supported in the Hanoi 2 (Vietnam) and Tokyo (Japan) regions.
- You can change the default Network ACL, but you must configure other required rules to create the server.
The following are the default outbound rules for the Network ACL and can be deleted:
| Priority | Type | Protocol | Port | Source | Traffic Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | ALL | ALL | ALL | 0.0.0.0/0 | ALLOW |
If you delete the above default rule, you need to add the following outbound rules to create and deploy the server:
| Priority | Type | Protocol | Port | Source | Traffic Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | HTTP | TCP | 80 | 0.0.0.0/0 | ALLOW |
| 2 | HTTPS | TCP | 443 | 0.0.0.0/0 | ALLOW |
| 3 | DNS (UDP) | UDP | 53 | 0.0.0.0/0 | ALLOW |
- FPT sets resource limits (quotas) according to your contract/agreement. When the quota is exhausted, you cannot create new resources. Contact your sales representative or FPT Smart Cloud Support for assistance.
