Creating a VPC Endpoint Service

Function

This API is used to create a VPC endpoint service. Other users can create a VPC endpoint to connect to the endpoint service.

This API is asynchronous. If it is successfully invoked, status code 200 is returned, indicating that the request has been successfully delivered. It takes 1 to 2 minutes to create a VPC endpoint service. You can view the creation result by performing operations in Querying Details About a VPC Endpoint Service.

URI

POST /v1/{project_id}/vpc-endpoint-services

    Table 2 Request parameters

    Parameter

    Mandatory

    Type

    Description

    port_id

    Yes

    String

    Specifies the ID for identifying the backend resource of the VPC endpoint service. The ID is in universally unique identifier (UUID) format.

    The values are as follows:

    • If the backend resource is a load balancer, the value is the ID of the port bound to the private IP address of the load balancer. For details, see response field port_id in section "Querying Details of a Load Balancer" in Elastic Load Balancing API Reference.
    • If the backend resource is an ECS, the value is the NIC ID of the ECS where the VPC endpoint service is deployed. For details, see port_id in the response in section "Querying NICs of an ECS" in the Elastic Cloud Server API Reference.
    • If the backend resource is a virtual IP address, the value is the port ID of the physical server where virtual resources are created. (This value will be discarded. The LB type is recommended.)
    NOTE:
    • To create a VPC endpoint service, the CIDR block of the VPC where the VPC endpoint service is deployed cannot overlap with 198.19.128.0/17.
    • The destination address of the custom route in the VPC route table cannot overlap with 198.19.128.0/17.

    service_name

    No

    String

    Specifies the name of the VPC endpoint service. The name can contain a maximum of 16 characters, including letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).

    • If you do not specify this parameter, the VPC endpoint service name is in the format: regionName.serviceId.
    • If you specify this parameter, the VPC endpoint service name is in the format: regionName+.+serviceName+.+serviceId.

    vpc_id

    Yes

    String

    Specifies the ID of the VPC to which the backend resource of the VPC endpoint service belongs.

    For details, see response field id in section "Querying VPC Details" in Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.

    approval_enabled

    No

    Boolean

    Specifies whether connection approval is required.

    • false: Connection approval is not required. The created VPC endpoint is in the accepted state.
    • true: Connection approval is required. The created VPC endpoint is in the pendingAcceptance state until the owner of the associated VPC endpoint service approves the connection.

    The default value is true.

    service_type

    No

    String

    Specifies the type of the VPC endpoint service. Only your private services can be configured into interface VPC endpoint services.

    There are two types of VPC endpoint services: interface and gateway.
    • Gateway: VPC endpoint services of this type are configured by O&M personnel. You can use them directly without the need to create one by yourselves.
    • Interface: VPC endpoint services of this type include cloud services configured by O&M personnel and private services created by yourselves. You cannot configure these cloud services, but can use them.

    You can view those VPC endpoint services that are configured by O&M personnel and are visible and accessible to all users. For detailed steps, see Querying Public VPC Endpoint Services. Perform the operations in Creating a VPC Endpoint to create VPC endpoints for accessing VPC endpoint services of the gateway type and interface type.

    server_type

    Yes

    String

    Specifies the resource type.

    • LB: Select this value if the backend resource is a load balancer. Backend resources of this type suit services that receive high access traffic and demand high reliability and disaster recovery (DR) performance.
    • VM: Select this value if the backend resource is an ECS. Backend resources of this type serve as servers.
    • VIP: Select this value if the backend resource is a virtual IP address. (This value will be discarded. The LB type is recommended.)
    • BMS: Select this value if the backend resource is a BMS. (This value will be discarded. The LB type is recommended.)

    ports

    Yes

    Array of objects

    Lists the port mappings opened to the VPC endpoint service. For details, see Table 3.

    Duplicate port mappings are not allowed in the same VPC endpoint service. If multiple VPC endpoint services share the same port_id value, either server_port or protocol, or both server_port and protocol of each of these VPC endpoint services must be unique. A maximum of 200 port mappings can be created at a time.

    tcp_proxy

    No

    String

    Specifies whether the client IP address and port number or marker_id information is transmitted to the server. The following methods are supported:

    • TCP TOA: The client information is inserted into field tcp option and transmitted to the server.
      NOTE:

      TCP TOA is supported only when the backend resource is OBS.

    • Proxy Protocol: The client information is inserted into field tcp payload and transmitted to the server.

    This parameter is available only when the server can parse fields tcp option and tcp payload.

    The values are as follows:

    • close: The TOA and Proxy Protocol methods are neither used.
    • toa_open: The TOA method is used.
    • proxy_open: The Proxy Protocol method is used.
    • open: The TOA and Proxy Protocol methods are both used.
    • proxy_vni: The TOA Protocol method is not used. Proxy and virtual network ID are used.

    The default value is close.
