FAQPage Schema
How do I create an IP filter for Elastic Cloud Serverless projects?▼

You can create an IP filter for Elastic Cloud Serverless by interacting with the Elastic Cloud API to define rules that allowlist specific public IP addresses or CIDR blocks, ensuring only authorized traffic accesses your resources.

Can I restrict Elastic Cloud traffic to specific AWS PrivateLink VPC endpoints?▼

Yes, you can restrict Elastic Cloud traffic to specific AWS PrivateLink VPC endpoints by configuring VPC filters. This limits network access to private connectivity using designated VPC endpoint IDs.

What is the difference between IP filters and VPC filters for Elastic Cloud network access?▼

IP filters control ingress and egress network access by allowlisting public IP addresses or CIDR blocks, whereas VPC filters restrict traffic to specific AWS PrivateLink VPC endpoint IDs for private connectivity.

Do I need environment variables to manage Elastic Cloud network security policies?▼

Yes, environment variables are required for API authentication when managing Elastic Cloud network security policies. These variables allow you to securely interact with the Elastic Cloud API to enforce traffic restrictions.

How do I list and delete traffic control filters for Elastic Cloud Serverless?▼

You can list and delete traffic control filters for Elastic Cloud Serverless by interacting with the Elastic Cloud API using authenticated environment variables, enabling the management of existing IP and VPC network restrictions.
