Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection enables traffic monitoring and prevents potential DDoS attacks to an instance. It activates a set of tools that detect and block network flooding attempts, ensuring the instance remains active and operational.
Follow this guide to enable DDoS protection on a Vultr Optimized Cloud Compute instance using the Vultr Customer Portal, or Terraform.
Open your Terraform configuration for the existing Optimized Cloud Compute instance.
Enable DDoS protection in the instance resource.
resource "vultr_instance" "occ" {
# ...existing fields (region, plan, os_id, label, etc.)
ddos_protection = true
}
Apply the configuration and observe the following output:
Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 1 changed, 0 destroyed.
