The best practice case for accessing OBS through an NGINX reverse proxy is released. |
In some cases, you may need to set a blacklist and a whitelist of external IP addresses to control external access, so you need to provide a fixed IP address for users to access OBS. Also for security purposes, an OBS bucket does not have a fixed IP address, because the DNS service of HUAWEI CLOUD resolves the bucket access domain name to different IP addresses. In this case, you can set up an NGINX reverse proxy server on an ECS to allow users to access OBS through a fixed IP address. |
