Find the IP address of an Oracle Public Cloud Service VM

Purpose

Find the IP address of anOracle Cloud Service instance to connect to the VM with PuTTy or SOCKS Proxy.

Time to Complete

Approximately 5 minutes.

Background

Most Oracle Public Cloud Services provides you with an IP address to connect to your service's VM through Secure Shell (SSH). This tutorial guides you to find this IP address.

Some Oracle Public Cloud services such as Oracle Storage Cloud Service don't provide access to their VMs with Secure Shell. Instead you use REST API calls to access the service. This tutorial is for cloud services that allow SSH access to their VMs and therefore, they provide you an IP address for SSH access.

What Do You Need?

• An Oracle Public Cloud service instance

1. Go to Oracle Cloud My Services by either clicking the link in your Welcome email or by going to http://cloud.oracle.com, clicking Sign In, selecting your Data Center and then clicking MyServices in the Cloud Account section.



2. In My Services Dashboard section, click your specific cloud service menu icon.



3. Clicking an instance name in the Services page, takes you to that instance's detail page. Click the name of the cloud service instance that you want to find its IP address. In this tutorial, it's GG-ABC.



4. Copy the IP address from the Public IP field in the Virtual Machine's section. For this tutorial, the IP address is 11.111.111.111.



Note: In some cloud services, the Virtual Machine section is called Nodes.

5. Refer to this instance detail page for other details about your virtual machine, such as the associated services. For example, this instance can have an Oracle Database Cloud Service associated with it that you can find its name here. You won't find IP addresses of an instance's associated services on its detail page. Each service detail page only has its own IP address.
