  • Enabling DDoS protection when creating a virtual machine
  • Enabling DDoS protection when reserving IP addresses

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.

Enabling DDoS protection when reserving IP addresses

Management console

To reserve a protected static IP address:

  1. In the management console, change to the folder where you need to reserve an address.
  2. In the list of services, select Virtual Private Cloud.
  3. On the left-hand panel, select IP addresses.
  4. Click Reserve address.
  5. Select the availability zone where you want to reserve the address.
  6. Enable the DDoS protection option.
  7. Click Reserve address.
