What Is VPC Endpoint?

Updated on 2024-12-13 GMT+08:00

VPC Endpoint is a cloud service that provides secure and private channels to connect your VPCs to VPC endpoint services, including cloud services or your private services. It allows you to plan networks flexibly without having to use EIPs.

Architecture

There are two types of resources: VPC endpoint services and VPC endpoints.

  • VPC endpoint services are cloud services or private services that you manually configure in VPC Endpoint. You can access these endpoint services using VPC endpoints.

    For more information, see VPC Endpoint Services.

  • VPC endpoints are secure and private channels for connecting VPCs to VPC endpoint services.
    • VPC endpoints are classified into interface VPC endpoints and gateway VPC endpoints based on the types of VPC endpoint services they access.
      • Interface VPC endpoints: They access interface VPC endpoint services and are elastic network interfaces that have private IP addresses.
      • Gateway VPC endpoints: They access gateway VPC endpoint services and serve as gateways with routes configured to distribute traffic to the associated gateway VPC endpoint services.
    • There are professional and basic VPC endpoints. Different editions have different features.
      • Professional: This newly released VPC endpoint type is available in the CN East2, ME-Riyadh, CN East-Qingdao, and AF-Cairo regions. A VPC endpoint supports up to 10 Gbit/s of bandwidth and IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack.
      • Basic: Basic VPC endpoints refer to previous VPC endpoints.

    For more information, see VPC Endpoints.

Figure 1 How VPC Endpoint works

Figure 1 shows the process of establishing channels for network communications between:

  • VPC 1 (ECS 1) and VPC 3 (ECS 3)
  • VPC 2 (ECS 2) and cloud services such as OBS and DNS
  • IDC and VPC 2 over VPN or Direct Connect to finally access a cloud service such as OBS or DNS

For more information, see Application Scenarios.

Accessing VPC Endpoint

You can access VPC Endpoint using any of the following:

  • Huawei Cloud management console
    • If you have signed up an account with Huawei Cloud, log in to the management console and choose Networking > VPC Endpoint.
    • If you do not have an account, create one with Huawei Cloud first by referring to Preparations.

    Upon a quick configuration on the management console, you can start using VPC Endpoint.

  • APIs

    Use this method if you need to integrate VPC Endpoint into a third-party system for secondary development. For details, see VPC Endpoint API Reference.
