Creating a VPC Endpoint

Function

This API is used to create a VPC endpoint for accessing a VPC endpoint service.

This API is asynchronous. If it is successfully called, status code 200 is returned, indicating that the request has been successfully delivered.

It takes 1 to 2 minutes to create a VPC endpoint. You can query whether it has been created by referring to Querying Details of a VPC Endpoint.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

URI

POST /v1/{project_id}/vpc-endpoints

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Specifies the project ID.

Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
X-Auth-Token	Yes	String	Specifies the user token. It can be obtained by calling the IAM API. The value of X-Subject-Token in the response header is the user token.
Content-Type	No	String	Specifies the MIME type of the request body. Default value application/json is recommended. For APIs used to upload objects or images, the MIME type varies depending on the flow type.

**Table 3** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
subnet_id	No	String	Specifies the network ID of the subnet in the VPC specified by vpc_id. The ID is in UUID format. This parameter is mandatory when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting to an interface VPC endpoint service. Note: The CIDR block of the VPC subnet cannot overlap with 198.19.128.0/17. The destination address of the custom route in the VPC route table cannot overlap with 198.19.128.0/17.
endpoint_service_id	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the VPC endpoint service. You can obtain the ID of the VPC endpoint service to be connected by querying the section "VPCEP Service Overview".
vpc_id	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the VPC where the VPC endpoint is to be created.
enable_dns	No	Boolean	Specifies whether to create a domain name. true: A domain name will be created. false: No domain names will be created. The default value is false. Note: When you create a VPC endpoint for connecting to a gateway VPC endpoint service, no domain names will be created regardless of whether enable_dns is set to true or false.
tags	No	Array of TagList objects	Specifies the tag list. If no tag is matched, an empty array is returned.
routetables	No	Array of strings	Specifies the route table ID list. This parameter is mandatory when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting to a gateway VPC endpoint service. If this parameter is not configured, the default route table will be used.
port_ip	No	String	Specifies the IP address for accessing the associated VPC endpoint service. You can specify IP addresses for accessing the associated VPC endpoint service when creating a VPC endpoint. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. This parameter is mandatory when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting an interface VPC endpoint service.
whitelist	No	Array of strings	Specifies whitelists added for controlling access to the VPC endpoint. IPv4 addresses or CIDR blocks can be specified to control access when you create a VPC endpoint. The whitelist is left blank by default. This parameter is available only when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting to an interface VPC endpoint service.
enable_whitelist	No	Boolean	Specifies whether access control is enabled.
description	No	String	Specifies the description field. The value can contain characters such as letters and digits, but cannot contain angle brackets (< or >).
policy_statement	No	Array of PolicyStatement objects	Specifies the policy of the gateway VPC endpoint. This parameter is only available when enable_policy of the VPC endpoint services for Object Storage Service (OBS) and Scalable File Service (SFS) is set to true.
policy_document	No	Object	Specifies the policy of the VPC endpoint. This parameter is only available when enable_policy of the VPC endpoint services is set to true. The default value indicates full access permission. (This parameter is not available for the VPC endpoint services for OBS and SFS.)
ip_version	No	String	Specifies the IP version of the VPC endpoint. Only professional VPC endpoints support this parameter. ipv4: The VPC endpoint IP address can only be an IPv4 address. dualstack: The VPC endpoint IP address can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
ipv6_address	No	String	Specifies the IPv6 address of the VPC endpoint service to be connected to. When creating a VPC endpoint, you can specify the IP address for the VPC endpoint service you will connect to. If you do not specify the IP address, the IP address generated by the system will be used. Only professional VPC endpoints support this parameter.

**Table 4** TagList
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description

A key can contain UTF-8 letters, digits, spaces, and the following special characters _ . : = + - @ Keys cannot start with _sys_ because it indicates a system tag. A key cannot start or end with a space.
value	No	String	Specifies the tag value. A value can contain 0 to 255 characters. A value can contain UTF-8 letters, digits, spaces, and the following special characters _ . : / = + - @ A value can be an empty string.

**Table 5** PolicyStatement
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
Effect	Yes	String	Allow indicates that the VPC endpoint policy can be modified. Deny indicates that the VPC endpoint policy cannot be modified.
Action	Yes	Array of strings	Specifies OBS access permissions.
Resource	Yes	Array of strings	Specifies the OBS object.
