Connect to a KCS instance

Last updated:2021-06-08 16:02:16

By default, you can access a KCS instance only by using its private IP address over the internal network. To access a KCS instance from the Internet, you must apply for a public IP address for the instance on the instance details page. For more information, see Enable public access.

This topic describes how to connect to a KCS instance from a Kingsoft Cloud Elastic Compute (KEC) instance on which Ubuntu or CentOS is installed.

Usage notes

  • Before you connect to a KCS instance from a KEC instance, you must add the private or public IP address of the KEC instance to a security group of the KCS instance. Otherwise, the connection fails. For more information, see Use security groups.
  • If you have enabled password-free access for the KCS instance, you do not need to provide a password when you connect to the KCS instance.
  • The KEC instance must be in the same VPC as the KCS instance. Otherwise, the connection fails.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the KCS console. Obtain the IP address of the KCS instance to which you want to connect.
