Enable protection from DDoS attacks
Written by
DDoS protection activates when a virtual machine is created and public IPs are reserved.
Protected addresses are allocated from a separate pool; therefore, you cannot enable and disable protection for a previously reserved address.
Enabling DDoS protection when creating a virtual machine
Management console
When configuring the network on a new virtual machine, select the automatically assigned public IP address or select an address from the list of reserved addresses.
Once you select an address, select the DDoS protection option.
