Creating a VPC Channel

Function

This API is used to create a VPC channel from APIC to your private VPC resources. Afterwards, when creating an API, you can configure your backend service to use this VPC channel so that can directly access your private VPC resources.

You can create a maximum of 200 VPC channels. If you need to support more VPC channels, contact technical support to adjust the quota.
