Configuring Host-Based Security

Warning

SingleStore 9.0 gives you the opportunity to preview, evaluate, and provide feedback on new and upcoming features prior to their general availability. In the interim, SingleStore 8.9 is recommended for production workloads, which can later be upgraded to SingleStore 9.0.

You can use a firewall to restrict which hosts can access SingleStore. For example, if you’re running a SingleStore cluster on Amazon EC2, you can configure security groups to restrict network access by specifying allowed IP addresses or security groups.

You can also set the bind-address variable to restrict the range of IP addresses which are allowed to connect to SingleStore. For example, if you set it to 127.0.0.1, you will only be able to connect to SingleStore locally. See bind_address in the Non-Sync Variables List.
