VPC Endpoint Services

A VPC endpoint service is a cloud service or a private service that can be accessed through a VPC endpoint.

There are two types of VPC endpoint services: gateway and interface.

Gateway VPC endpoint services are created only for cloud services.
Interface VPC endpoint services can be created for both cloud services and your private services. Cloud services are configured as VPC endpoint services by the O&M personnel by default. However, you need to create VPC endpoint services for your private services.

Gateway VPC Endpoint Services

Gateway VPC endpoint services are configured from cloud services by the system. You do not have the permissions to configure such VPC endpoint services but can select them when creating a VPC endpoint.

Supported cloud services vary in different regions. For details, see the services that can be configured on the management console.
