Creating a VPC Endpoint Service

Function

This API is used to create a VPC endpoint service. Other users can create a VPC endpoint to connect to the VPC endpoint service.

Note: This API is asynchronous. If it is successfully invoked, status code 200 is returned, indicating that the request has been successfully delivered. It takes 1 to 2 minutes for the system to provision a VPC endpoint service. You can view the creation result by querying the details about the VPC endpoint service.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

Request Parameters

Table 2 Request header parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

X-Auth-Token

Table 3 Request body parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

port_id

Yes

String

Specifies the ID that identifies the backend resource of the VPC endpoint service. The ID is in UUID format. The value can be:

  • The port ID of the private IP address of a load balancer (recommended). For details, see section "Viewing Details of a Load Balancer" in the Elastic Load Balance API Reference.

  • The NIC ID of an ECS IP address. For details, see the port_id field in the response parameters of section "Querying NICs of an ECS" in the Elastic Cloud Server API Reference.

  • The NIC ID of the virtual server for which the virtual IP address is configured (discarded). Note:

  • You cannot create a VPC endpoint service in a VPC whose CIDR block overlaps 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.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 64

String

Specifies the name of the VPC endpoint service. The name can contain a maximum of 16 characters, including letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).

  • If you do not specify this parameter, the VPC endpoint service name is in regionName.serviceId format:

  • If you specify a valid value, the VPC endpoint service name is in the following format: regionNameserviceNameserviceId.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 64

approval_enabled

No

Boolean

Specifies whether approval is required. ● false: No approval is required. The created VPC endpoint is in the accepted state by default. ● true: Approval is required. The created VPC endpoint is in the pendingAcceptance state and can be used only after being approved by the user of the VPC endpoint service. The default value is true.

Default: true

service_type

No

String

Specifies the type of the VPC endpoint service. Only your private services can be configured into interface VPC endpoint services. There are two types of VPC endpoint services: interface and gateway.

  • gateway: indicates the VPC endpoint services that are configured by the O&M personnel. You can use them directly without creating them by yourselves.

  • interface: indicates the cloud services configured by the O&M personnel and private services created by yourselves. You can directly use the cloud services configured by the O&M personnel without creating them by yourself. You can query the public VPC endpoint services to view the VPC endpoint services that are visible and accessible to all users and are configured by the O&M personnel. You can create VPC endpoints to connect to gateway and interface VPC endpoint services.

Default: interface

server_type

Yes

String

Specifies the resource type.

  • VM: indicates a cloud server.

  • VIP: indicates a virtual IP address. (This value has been discarded. LB is recommended.)

  • LB: indicates a load balancer that works well for high-traffic services that require high reliability and disaster recovery (DR) performance.

ports

Yes

Array of PortList objects

Specifies the port mappings opened by the VPC endpoint service. Duplicate port mappings are not allowed in the same VPC endpoint service. If multiple VPC endpoint services share one port ID, the combinations of server ports and protocols for all port mappings between VPC endpoint services must be unique. A maximum of 200 port mappings can be added at a time.

tcp_proxy

No

String

Specifies whether to transfer client information, such as source IP addresses, source port numbers, and marker IDs, to the server. The information can be sent to the server in the following ways:

  • TCP TOA: The client information is placed into the tcp option field and sent to the server. Note: TCP TOA is available only when the backend resource is OBS.

  • Proxy Protocol: The client information is placed into the tcp payload field and sent to the server. tcp_proxy is available only when the server can parse the tcp option and tcp payload fields. The value can be one of the following:

  • close: Neither TCP TOA nor Proxy Protocol information is carried.

  • toa_open: TCP TOA information is carried.

  • proxy_open: Proxy Protocol information in carried.

  • open: Both TCP TOA and Proxy Protocol information are carried.

  • proxy_vni: Only Proxy Protocol and Proxy VNI information is carried. The default value is close.

Default: close

tags

Array of TagList objects

Resource tag list A maximum of 10 tags can be added to a VPC endpoint service.
