Binding an EIP to a GeminiDB Redis Instance Node

Scenarios

After you create a GeminiDB Redis instance, you can bind an EIP to its node to allow external access. If later you want to prohibit external access, you can also unbind the EIP.

Usage Notes

  • To change the EIP that has been bound to a node, unbind it from the node first.
  • You need to estimate the bandwidth required by services and purchase an EIP with sufficient bandwidth resources. Client access exceptions caused by poor public network performance will not be included in the SLA.
  • Redis Cluster GeminiDB Redis instances do not support this function.

Binding an EIP

  1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console.
  2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB.
  3. On the Instances page, click the target instance. The Basic Information page is displayed.
  4. In the navigation pane, choose Nodes. In the Node Information area, browse to the target node and click Bind EIP in the Operation column.
