To manage service traffic efficiently, use service instances to bind your services to specific network interfaces.
While creating a service, you choose a host on which you want to run the service. You can reassign or transfer the service to a different host after you set up the service. This is useful if you need to update your network infrastructure or retire a specific host.
Use the following steps to create these services: Data Connector, DHCP, DNS, MS AD Sync, and NIOS Grid Connector.
The interface binding feature is currently unavailable for the NIOS Grid Connector service. The Create <Service> wizard will guide you through the applicable steps when creating a service.
To create a supported service instance, do the following:
Log in to the Cloud Services Portal.
Go to Manage > Infrastructure > Services.
Click Create Service.
From the drop down menu, select the service instance you want to create.
In the Create <Service> wizard, follow the steps in the wizard to create the service.
