After you create an ApsaraDB for HBase cluster, you must configure a whitelist or add Elastic Compute Service (ECS) security groups for the cluster. This allows the clients included in a whitelist or security group to access the cluster.
Prerequisites
Background information
- You are not allowed to access open source components in the cluster, such as the HBase, Ganglia, and HDFS components.
- You are not allowed to read or write data in the ApsaraDB for HBase cluster.
Before you connect to the cluster, you must add the IP addresses of your clients to the whitelist.
Configure a whitelist
Add security groups
A security group is a virtual firewall that is used to control inbound and outbound traffic of ECS instances in the security group. After a security group is added for an ApsaraDB for HBase cluster, the ECS instances in the security group can access the ApsaraDB for HBase cluster.
- ApsaraDB for HBase Standard Edition and ApsaraDB for HBase Enhanced Edition are supported.
- You can configure both the IP address whitelist and security groups for a cluster. All IP addresses in the IP address whitelist and all ECS instances in security groups are allowed to access the ApsaraDB for HBase cluster.
- You can add up to three security groups for a cluster.
