Overview

When your on-premises network needs to communicate with a VPC, you can create a Direct Connect connection on the console to establish network connectivity between your premises and the cloud.

The telecom carrier needs to perform a site survey and lay the leased line, which takes about two or three months. Make sure that you arrange enough time for the project.

Figure 1 shows the process for connecting your on-premises environment to Huawei Cloud.
