Overview

You need to bind an EIP or configure a NAT Gateway for the container instance and pay additional network fees when the EKSCI needs to connect to a public network, such as deploying a Nginx service, pulling a private image etc. There are two methods for this.

This document describes how to bind an EIP to a container instance, so as to enable the container instance to interconnect with a public network.

Directions

Note

You need to bind an EIP when creating the container instance.

1. Log in to the TKE console to go to the container instance page.
2. Click Create Instance.
3. Configure the parameters of the container instance based on actual needs. For more information, see Creating a Container Instance. Click Next.
4. Enable "Binding an EIP". You can use one of the two methods to bind.
   • Auto-creating an EIP
   • Using an existing EIP

   A container instance supports auto-creating an EIP and binding with it. The attributes are as follows:

   • Peak bandwidth, which needs to be customized by you. It will affect billing. Please check the details and select appropriate peak bandwidth based on your needs.
   • Lifecycle, which is consistent with the container instance. When you delete the container instance, the lifecycle is deleted simultaneously.

   You can also select an existing EIP. If you choose this method, you need to create an EIP in advance. If there is no appropriate one, please click Create EIP.

5. Click Confirm to complete the process.
