Global EIP Usage Guidelines

Overview

A global Elastic IP (global EIP) can be bound to a global connection bandwidth for private communication and to a global internet bandwidth for Internet access. You can specify a global region and a global EIP pool to assign a global EIP, and bind this global EIP to an instance (such as an ECS or load balancer) in any region on the cloud. To enable an ECS to communicate with the Internet through a global EIP, you also need to bind an internet gateway to the global EIP. Figure 1 shows the architecture.
