Firewall Groups
Quake AI concept: Security Groups
- Firewall Groups are managed at the account level and attached to one or more instances by reference; OpenStack security groups are per-port and project-scoped.
- Rules apply only to inbound traffic on the public interface; outbound traffic is allowed by default with no rule surface, unlike Neutron security groups which have explicit ingress and egress rules.
- Default policy is implicit-deny inbound on any port without a matching rule; OpenStack security groups follow the same default-deny model but allow explicit egress shaping.
- Firewall Groups are free and have no per-instance attach limit documented; OpenStack security groups are likewise free but have different rule semantics (port + protocol + remote group).
Firewall Groups
Quake AI concept: Security Groups
- Vultr Firewall Groups are the supported managed firewall product; there is no separate Neutron FWaaS-style abstraction on Vultr.
- A single Firewall Group can be attached to many instances; rules are stored centrally and updated in one place, unlike per-port Neutron security groups.
- Operates at the edge of the public interface of the instance rather than per-port like Neutron security groups.
