Network Instance

A network instance can be a VPC or virtual gateway.

  • VPCs in different regions can be loaded to a cloud connection to enable communications among them.
  • If VPCs are connected by a cloud connection, virtual gateways associated with each VPC can be loaded to this cloud connection to allow the on-premises data center to communicate with these VPCs.

In Direct Connect, a virtual gateway associates a virtual interface with a VPC so that the on-premises data center can access this VPC.
