Firewalling in Thalassa Cloud
Overview
Firewalling in Thalassa Cloud provides network security by allowing users to define firewall rules that control ingress and egress traffic for their cloud resources. Firewall rules can be applied to specific subnets or across all subnets within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). The rules operate on a priority-based system, allowing fine-grained traffic control based on protocols and traffic type.
Firewall Capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Firewall Rules | Define granular security rules to allow or deny traffic between network resources. |
| Subnet-Level Control | Apply rules to specific subnets or enforce policies across all subnets in a VPC. |
| Ingress & Egress Rules | Control inbound and outbound traffic to protect workloads from unauthorized access. |
| Protocol-Based Rules | Define rules based on TCP, UDP, ICMP, or allow all protocols. |
| Priority-Based Rules | Rules are enforced based on priority, allowing for flexible security configurations. |
Notes
- You should always also attach a Security Group to your workloads. VPC firewall rules are an additional layer of security, but is not as flexible as Security Groups.
