RDS provides whitelist access policies. You can set permitted IP addresses and IP network segments to effectively prevent hackers from attacking the server by port scanning1. A whitelist is a list of IP addresses or CIDR blocks that are allowed to access an RDS instance. By default, the whitelist is empty, which means that no IP address can access the RDS instance. You can add IP addresses or CIDR blocks to the whitelist to allow access from specific sources. You can also modify or delete the whitelist as needed2. Whitelist access policies help improve the security of your RDS instance and protect your data from unauthorized access3. 

 To execute a task at a specific time such as removing 1 ECS instance every night at 00:00, you need to perform two operations: create a scaling rule and create a scheduled task. A scaling rule is a set of instructions that defines how Auto Scaling scales computing resources in response to changes in business load. A scheduled task is a type of scaling task that can execute a specified scaling rule at a specified time. By creating a scaling rule that removes 1 ECS instance from the scaling group, and creating a scheduled task that executes this scaling rule every night at 00:00, you can achieve the desired result. You do not need to create a new scaling group, because you already have one scaling group created. You also do not need to create an event-triggered task, because this type of scaling task is triggered by events such as Cloud Monitor alarms or API calls, not by a specific time. References: 1, 2, and 3.

When forwarding layer 7 (HTTP) requests, Alibaba Cloud SLB preserves the client’s real IP address by including it in the X-Forwarded-For header. This allows the backend ECS instance to access the client’s actual IP rather than the SLB’s IP address. This practice is common for maintaining accurate client IP information in HTTP forwarding scenarios.
