Can I Connect to DDM Instances from My Local Environment?

You cannot connect to a DDM instance in your local environment except in the following scenarios:

  1. DDM instances use Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) to manage security of services. The DDM instances that you create can only be accessed by ECSs in the same VPC as your instances.
  2. You can use an ECS that can communicate with your instance to forward your requests, to connect to a DDM instance from your local environment.
  3. In addition, you can also connect your local environment to a DDM instance through a direct connection. To connect to the DDM instance with this method, you need to enable port number 5066 in inbound and outbound directions of the required security group.
