Adding a published service to a VM

To add a published service to a VM

  1. Navigate to the VM Settings > Network Adapters page for the VM you want to edit.

  2. For the adapter you want to add a published service to, click Add service > Published service.

    Network Adapters - Add Published Service

    Published services require automatic networking. You can't add a published service to a network adapter that is connected to a Manual network.

    If the Add Published Service button is missing, you must first complete the following steps:

    1. Create an automatic network.
    2. Attach the VM to the automatic network.

    The Add published service section displays.

  3. Select a common connection method from the Select port menu, or choose Custom, and then type the port number that should be opened for the VM.

  4. Click Add.

  5. Skytap creates a published service with an internal port number and a public address.

    Show Published Services

    • The Internal port is the port you selected to open in the previous step. This is the port used by the VM application or service.
    • The Published service is the URL exposed on the public Internet; use this address to connect to this VM. For more information, see Connecting to a VM using a published service.

  6. Configure the VM to support the remote connection. The specific requirements vary, depending on the port and application you’re connecting to. For example, to connect with RDP, remote access must be enabled on the VM. For some applications, the VM firewall rules may need to be edited to allow traffic over the port you’re publishing.
