Interaction with Other Services

Interaction Between Cloud Connections and Other Services

Figure 1 How cloud connections interact with other cloud services

Reference

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

VPCs in different regions can be connected over a cloud connection for communication over a private network.

Creating a VPC

Direct Connect

Cloud connections can work with Direct Connect to connect on-premises data centers to VPCs in different regions.

Connecting On-Premises Data Centers and VPCs in Different Regions

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Cloud connections can work with VPN to connect on-premises data centers to VPCs in different regions.

NAT Gateway

NAT Gateway enables servers in on-premises data centers or VPCs connected by a cloud connection to access the Internet or provide Internet-accessible services.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

IAM allows you to control access to cloud connection resources.

Enterprise Router

An enterprise router enables the VPCs in the same region to communicate with each other. By working with global DC gateways provided by Direct Connect, enterprise routers enable the VPCs and on-premises data centers in the same region to communicate with each other. Enterprise routers in different regions can be connected using a central network to allow for cross-region communication between VPCs and between on-premises data centers and VPCs.

What's an Enterprise Router?

Global DC gateway

Global DC gateways can work with enterprise routers to allow on-premises data centers to communicate with the VPCs over a hybrid cloud network. A global DC gateway can be attached to enterprise routers in different regions on a central network. This reduces latency, simplifies network topology, and improves network O&M efficiency.

Global DC Gateway Overview

Global connection bandwidth

A global connection bandwidth can be bound to a central network to allow the resources to communicate with each other over the backbone network, regardless of whether:

  • The resources are in the same geographic region.
  • The resources are in different geographic region.
