ECS Instance Should Not Bind Public IP or Allow Any IP Access

ID: rule:aliyun:ecs-instance-no-public-and-anyip
Severity: medium

Description​

ECS instances should not directly bind IPv4 public IPs or Elastic IPs, and associated security groups should not expose 0.0.0.0/0. Compliant when no public IP is bound.

Reason for Violation​

ECS instance has public IP allocation enabled or uses unrestricted internet bandwidth

Recommendation​

Disable public IP allocation (AllocatePublicIP=false) and set InternetMaxBandwidthOut to 0. Use NAT Gateway or SLB for internet access instead.
