Model config: `firewall-mode`

See also: List of model configuration keys

This document describes the firewall-mode model configuration key.

Key Type Default Valid values Purpose
firewall-mode string instance instance/global/none The mode to use for network firewalling. ‘instance’ requests the use of an individual firewall per instance. ‘global’ uses a single firewall for all instances (access for a network port is enabled to one instance if any instance requires that port). ‘none’ requests that no firewalling should be performed inside the model. It’s useful for clouds without support for either global or per instance security groups.

Modes available include:

  • instance: Requests the use of an individual firewall per instance.
  • global: Uses a single firewall for all instances (access for a network port is enabled to one instance if any instance requires that port).
  • none: Requests that no firewalling should be performed inside the model, which is useful for clouds without support for either global or per instance security groups.
