Overview

This document describes how to obtain the public IP address of a CVM instance.

Directions

Console
API
Instance metadata
1. Log in to the CVM console.
2. On the instance management page, proceed according to the actually used view mode:

To obtain the public IP from within the instance, you need to check the instance metadata.

1. Log in to the CVM instance. For more information, see Logging in to Linux Instance Using Standard Login Method and Logging in to Windows Instance.
2. Use the cURL tool or an HTTP GET request to access the metadata and obtain the public IP address.
curl http://metadata.tencentyun.com/meta-data/public-ipv4
Check the public IP in the result:
