Getting a Bluemix instance IP


I have setup a Amazon RDS instance that i would like to only allow my Bluemix app to access it

At the moment i have setup my Ec2 security group to allow all mysql traffic on port 3306, but allow all IPs.

My understanding so far is that a Bluemix app has a dynamic instance IP and changes each time after staging.

How can i find a static IP of my Bluemix app? I have read that using either the cloud integration or secure gateway service can help, but unsure how to do this with Amazon RDS instance.


Solution

  • The only way is to create an IBM container to get a static, public IP assigned. Image your app, load it into the container, and then mount. It looks like IBM is limiting 2 IP containers per account - so use carefully.
