Buying a VPC Endpoint

Describes how to buy a VPC endpoint.
  • VPC endpoints are region-level resources. Select a region and project when you buy such a VPC endpoint.
  • Each tenant can buy a maximum of 50 VPC endpoints.
  • When you buy a VPC endpoint, ensure that the associated VPC endpoint service is deployed in the same region as the VPC endpoint.
  • Only one basic VPC endpoint can be created in a VPC subnet for accessing a VPC endpoint service.
  • When you create multiple VPC endpoints in a VPC for accessing the same VPC endpoint service, you can enable Create a Private Domain Name for only one VPC endpoint. If you want to access multiple VPC endpoints using a private domain name, you need to modify the DNS record set.
  • VPC endpoints are billed based on the subscription duration.
