A public address is disabled by default for a database instance. You must enable a public address to access a database from the Internet using the Simple Application Server container service or DMS. This topic describes how to enable and disable a public address.
Procedure
Currently, no fees are charged for enabling a public address or for the resulting Internet traffic, which includes both inbound and outbound traffic. The bandwidth is unlimited.
-
Go to the Simple Database Service page in the Simple Application Server console.
-
On the card for the database service instance, click the instance ID.
If you have multiple database service cards, you can enter the instance ID in the search box to find the desired service.
-
On the Server Overview tab, in the Database Service Information section, click Enable for Public Address.
If a public address is enabled, you can disable public network access by clicking Disable.
WarningDisabling public network access may affect your services. Ensure that you no longer need public network access before you disable it.
-
In the dialog box that appears, click OK.
What to do next
After you enable a public address, you can use DMS to log on to and manage the database service. For more information, see Log on to a database using DMS (public network).
