Updated on 2025-01-22 GMT+08:00

Figure 1 shows how Direct Connect connects your on-premises data center to a VPC.

Figure 1 Connecting your on-premises data center to a VPC

Self-Service Installation

  • Scenario

    You need to create a connection to connect your on-premises data center to the Direct Connect location you have selected to build a hybrid cloud.

    After you create a connection on the console, Huawei Cloud will provide a dedicated port for exclusive use. To establish connectivity, you need to contact the carrier to connect the leased line to the Direct Connect location you have selected.

    Figure 2 shows the process of connecting your on-premises data center to Huawei Cloud using Direct Connect.
