Best Practices
==============

This section provides the best practices to follow for your cloud.

The following are some of the best practices:

-  Configure 'api.allowed.source.cidr.list' at cloud level or an account
   level to limit source IPs where the API requests are allowed from.
   
-  Setup fail2ban or similar tools to avoid any brute-force attempts
   for any operations.
