Manage VM ports

Introduction

This guide explains how to manage ports on deployments already done.

Important

INFN Cloud has a clearly defined list of open ports (see reference in the Networking section). The opening of any port that is not present in the above mentioned list must be formally requested through the INFN Cloud ServiceDesk.

Prerequisites

The user has to be registered in the IAM system for INFN-Cloud https://iam.cloud.infn.it/login and have already a delployment.

In this tab it is possible delete a port by clicking on the red coloured botton "Delete" or adding new port by clicking on "ADD PORT +" button placed on the right corner as showed in the following:
