Hello,

I’m looking to restrict the access of my Managed Database to only App Platform but it appears that we can’t actually, or I am missing something ?

This is a very high security issue !

Thanks,

Sylvain Corsini

Hello,

App Platform applications do not have a persistent IP address. Due to dynamic nature of the App, you will not be able to add any confined IP address to your Managed Database trusted source at this point.

We have this on our roadmap. Refer to below community question for more details:
