  Most Oracle Public Cloud Services provides you with an IP address to connect to your service's VM through Secure Shell (SSH). This article guides you to find the IP address of an Oracle Public Cloud Service instance to connect to its VM with PuTTy or SOCKS5 Proxy.

Purpose

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

Background

  Most Oracle Public Cloud Services provides you with an IP address to connect to your service's VM through Secure Shell (SSH). This article 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 article is for cloud services that allow SSH access to their VMs and therefore, they provide you an IP address for SSH access.

  Before looking the steps, we will clarify the concept related to an IP Address in Oracle Cloud.

An IP reservation

is a public IP address that you can attach to an Oracle Compute Cloud Service instance that requires access to or from the Internet.

  The public IP address is reserved from a pool of IP addresses.

  In a metered Oracle Java Cloud Service or Oracle Database Cloud Service subscription, you're billed for IP address reservations even if they aren't associated with any instance. So, if you've created an IP address reservation but you’re not using it, then delete it.

Note:

Each instance also has a private IP address associated with it. When an instance is created, its private IP address is assigned dynamically from a range of private IP addresses. When an instance is restarted, its private IP address might change.

  Now, Let’s see how to find the IP address of an Oracle Public Cloud Service VM

Data Center

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 yourand then clickingin 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 article, it's GG-ABC.

\

  4.- Copy the IP address from the Public IP field in the Virtual Machine's section. For this article, the IP address is 10.241.227.104.

\

  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.

  We hope this article can be helpful for you and see us on next article.
