Basic Concepts
Edge Site
An edge site is a pool of compute and storage resources that are deployed on premises. An edge site associates a specific Huawei Cloud region with your premises.
Location
A location is where your edge site is deployed.
Edge AZ
An edge AZ is where an edge site resides. Edge AZs are deployed in on-premises data centers and are not shared with the general public. For more information, see What Are the Relationships Between Edge Sites, Regions, and AZs?
Local Gateway
A local gateway is a virtual gateway deployed at the edge site for connecting the edge site to the on-premises system, so that the on-premises network can access the cloud over a private network. You can view details about local gateways and configure routes on the CloudPond console.
Edge Gateway
Edge gateways are deployed in pairs to connect the edge site to the cloud so that your data can be transmitted over a VPC after being encrypted.
VPN Gateway
A VPN gateway is deployed on the cloud in clusters and used for interconnecting the CloudPond O&M network with the cloud and the edge site.
Customer Gateway
A customer gateway can be a router or firewall that connects to both the Internet and CloudPond pre-integrated racks delivered to your location for network connectivity of your on-premises system.
