Endpoint Overview

An endpoint is a destination to which requests are routed, and up to 10 endpoints can be added to each endpoint group.

You can add the following resources as endpoints:
  • EIPs, ECSs, load balancers, and custom EIPs for accelerated access to servers deployed on Huawei Cloud.
  • IP addresses or custom domain names of servers on a third-party cloud, or servers in an on-premises data center.
The following table lists the supported types of endpoints and regions.

If there are multiple endpoints in an endpoint group, you can set a weight for each endpoint to specify the proportion of requests to distribute to each endpoint. The global accelerator adds up the weights of all endpoints in the endpoint group and routes requests to each endpoint based on the ratio of its weight to the total weights.
