Application Scenarios

EIP Application Scenarios

EIPs can be bound to or unbound from ECSs, BMSs, virtual IP addresses, NAT gateways, or load balancers.

Global EIP Application Scenarios

You can bind a global EIP to a cloud instance (such as an ECS and load balancer) in any region on the cloud to enable communication between cloud resources and the Internet. A global EIP can be bound to a global connection bandwidth for private communication and to a global internet bandwidth for Internet access. To enable an ECS to communicate with the Internet through a global EIP, you also need to bind a global internet gateway to the global EIP.
