Security Firewall Rule

Firewall rules allow you to permit or deny connections to or from a virtual machine (vm) based on the configuration you specify. When you create a firewall rule, you define a set of components that determine what the rule does. Components allow you to target specific traffic types, based on traffic protocols, destination ports, sources, and destinations.

Prerequisites to Create Security Firewall Rule

Before creating a Security Firewall Rule, you must first have an Instance. If you don’t have an Instance yet, you can deploy an Instance in Create VM Instance
