Floating IP Address

Floating IP Address​

A Floating IP Address enables external access to your virtual machine by associating a public IP with your internal instance. This allows your VM to be reachable from the internet while maintaining internal network isolation. Floating IPs are essential for scenarios such as web hosting, SSH access, and remote administration.

  • To add or change your public IP address configurations, go to the VM settings and navigate to the Floating IP Addresses section.
  • Click on Attach to assign a public IP address from the network.
