Firewall

​

External

The external firewall is used to control Internet traffic to/from a workload.

​

Inbound Requests

• By default, all inbound requests are disabled.
• Access is granted by explicitly adding one or more IPv4 / IPv6 / CIDR addresses or allowing all addresses.
• Using the UI:
  • Multiple address can entered within the textbox by delimiting each address with either a comma or space.
  • An import file can be uploaded containing each address on its own line or delimited with either a comma or space.

​

Outbound Requests

• By default, all outbound requests are disabled.
• Access is granted by explicitly adding one or more IPv4 / IPv6 / CIDR addresses or public hostnames or allowing all addresses / hostnames.
  • When using a hostname, only ports 80, 443, and 445 will be reachable. To allow all ports, enable all outbound requests.
  • When using a IP or CIDR, all ports will be reachable.
• The IP/CIDR addresses takes precedence over hostnames.
• Using the UI:
  • Multiple address can entered within the textbox by delimiting each address with either a comma or space.
  • An import file can be uploaded containing each address on its own line or delimited with either a comma or space.

​

Internal

The internal firewall is used to control access between other workloads within an org. Only the ports listed in the workload containers array will be made accessible to other workloads.

Available Options:

• None: No access is allowed between workloads.
• Same GVC: Workloads running in the same GVC are accessible.
• Same Org: Workloads running in the same org are accessible.
• Specific Workloads: Specific workloads are allowed access this workload.
  • These workloads can be from the same or different GVCs.
  • The user configuring this setting must have the view permission, set within a policy, on the workload being specified.
• Allow to Access Itself: Enables replicas of this workload to access themselves.
