NAT Gateway and Other Services
Figure 1 shows how NAT Gateway and other services are working together.
| Cloud Service | Interaction | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Connect | On-premises servers connected to a VPC through Direct Connect can use a public NAT gateway to access the Internet or provide services that are accessible from the Internet. | Using a Public NAT Gateway and Direct Connect to Accelerate Internet Access |
| Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) | ECSs can use a public NAT gateway to communicate with the Internet. | Allowing a Private Network to Access the Internet Using SNAT Allowing Internet Users to Access a Service in a Private Network Using DNAT |
| VPC | ECSs in a VPC can use a public NAT gateway to connect to the Internet. | Allowing a Private Network to Access the Internet Using SNAT |
| Elastic IP (EIP) | With a public NAT gateway, servers in a VPC can share an EIP to access the Internet or provide Internet-accessible services. | Allowing a Private Network to Access the Internet Using SNAT Allowing Internet Users to Access a Service in a Private Network Using DNAT |
| Cloud Eye | You can view NAT gateway monitoring data on the Cloud Eye console. | |
| Identity and Access Management (IAM) | If you need to assign different permissions to employees in your enterprise to control their access to your NAT Gateway resources, IAM is a good choice for fine-grained permissions management. | |
| Cloud Trace Service (CTS) | With CTS, you can record operations on NAT Gateway for later query, audit, and backtracking. |
