This would be useful for all customers who want to integrate Code Engine with their existing VPC resources. It would greatly enhance the use cases covered by Code Engine, and competitively, would provide a feature that is built-in on other cloud p...

Service tags for Security Groups and ACLs

It would be very helpful if we could work with service tags for the SG and ACL definitions. For example, for Internet traffic, Zones, IBM Cloud Services, Cloudflare, etc. This would make manual and static maintenance of long lists of IPs in the SG...
