Tags

Tags are user-defined labels that you can assign to ccloud³ VMs and which serve a number of purposes:

  • Filtering: Tagging multiple ccloud³ VMs with the same label allows you to organise your resources and view a filtered list of ccloud³ VMs that share that particular label.

  • Automatic inclusion in firewall rules and load balancer backend pools: Automatically include ccloud³ VMs in a firewall or load balancer configuration by using tags to minimise the administrative overhead involved in adding new ccloud³ VMs to your infrastructure.

  • Executing API calls on multiple ccloud³ VMs simultaneously: Initiate an action across all ccloud³ VMs with the same tag using the centron API. Identifying groups of ccloud³ VMs and managing them simultaneously reduces the time taken to manage resources.

Additional IP addresses

centron IPs are publicly accessible static IP addresses that you can assign to ccloud³ VMs. A reserved IP provides an additional static address that you can use to access a ccloud³ VM without replacing or changing the ccloud³ VM’s original public IP address.

Premium Full Managing

Premium Full Managing handles the core tasks of your infrastructure: backup, monitoring and patch management. As centron and Premium Full Managing can be selected as add-ons per VM, you are free to decide which part of your infrastructure is managed by centron.

Firewalls

The centron Cloud Firewalls are a stateful firewall service for your ccloud³ VMs. They block all traffic that is not explicitly permitted by a rule. You can specify the ccloud³ VMs protected by a firewall individually or using tags.
