Overview

If you want to access a cloud service like OBS from an on-premises data center through an intranet, you can connect the on-premises data center to your VPC using a VPN connection or a Direct Connect connection, and then use a VPC endpoint to access the cloud service from your VPC.

This section describes how to use a VPC endpoint to access OBS (private address) from an on-premises data center.

To access OBS as a gateway VPC endpoint service, you need to search for it by name. To obtain its name, submit a service ticket or contact the OBS O&M engineers.

The preceding figure shows the process of connecting the on-premises data center to a VPC over VPN or Direct Connect, and then using two VPC endpoints to enable the on-premises data center to access DNS and OBS through an intranet.

A VPC endpoint comes with a VPC endpoint service. Before you buy a VPC endpoint, ensure that the VPC endpoint service that you want to access is available.

In this scenario, the following VPC endpoint services are required:

• VPC endpoint service for DNS: required to resolve the OBS domain name.
• VPC endpoint service for OBS: required to allow the on-premises data center to access the OBS through an intranet.
