Starting September 18, 2019, the maximum number of public IPs can be bound to a single CVM had changed based on CPU configuration. The quotas are as shown below:

This limit does not apply to CVM instances purchased before 00:00, September 18, 2019. For these instances, the number of public IPs can be bound to each instance is equal to the number of private IPs supported by your server.

ENI Limits

Based on CPU and memory configurations, the number of ENIs can be bound to a CVM differs from the number of private IPs can be bound to an ENI. The quotes are as shown below:

The number of IP addresses bound to a single ENI indicates the maximum number allowed. The EIP quota is not provided based on this upper limit but based on EIP use limits.

    Bill-by-bandwidth	Pay-as-you-go instances	All	0–100
    Bandwidth package	All		0–2000

  • For CVMs created after 00:00, February 24, 2020, the following rules apply:

    Network Billing Method	Instance		Maximum Bandwidth Range (Mbps)
    	Instance Billing Method	Instance Configuration
    Bill-by-traffic	Pay-as-you-go instances	All	0–100

• A maximum of 100 inbound or outbound rules can be configured for a security group.
• One CVM can have multiple security groups, and one security group can be associated with multiple CVMs.
• Security groups associated with CVMs on the basic network cannot filter packets from or to TencentDB and the elastic cache (Redis or Memcached). Instead, you can use iptables to filter traffic for such instances.
• The quotas are as shown below:

  Item	Limit
  Number of security groups	50 per region
  Number of rules in a security group	100 for inbound rules and 100 for outbound rules
  Number of CVM instances associated with a security group	2,000
  Number of security groups associated with a CVM instance	5
  Number of rules in each security group that reference the security group ID	10
