VPC Endpoints

VPC endpoints are secure and private channels for connecting VPCs to VPC endpoint services.

You can buy a VPC endpoint to connect a resource in your VPC to a VPC endpoint service in another VPC of the same region.

A VPC endpoint comes with a VPC endpoint service. VPC endpoints vary depending on the type of the VPC endpoint services that they can access.

VPC endpoints for accessing interface VPC endpoint services are elastic network interfaces that have private IP addresses.
VPC endpoints for accessing gateway VPC endpoint services are gateways, with routes configured to distribute traffic to the associated 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 VPC endpoints were newly released and have been in OBT in the CN East2 region. A VPC endpoint supports up to 10 Gbit/s of bandwidth, IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack, and organization-level policy authorization.
- Basic VPC endpoints are the original VPC endpoints.
