IEC and Other Services

IEC can be deployed in HomeZones to provide infrastructure cloud services with low latency and local data storage. Common cloud services are as follows.

Compute and storage

Different types of ECS edge instances can be deployed in IEC HomeZones to provide compute and storage capabilities. Each edge instance type provides various flavors with different vCPU and memory specifications for you to choose from. For details about the instance specifications, see the actual deployment specifications of different IEC HomeZones.

Reliable, scalable, high-performance Elastic Volume Service disks (EVS disks) of different specifications can be attached to compute resources like ECSs and Bare Metal Servers (BMSs) for persistent data storage. For details about EVS disk types, see the actual deployment specifications of different IEC HomeZones.

IEC also supports Scalable File Service Turbo (SFS Turbo) and Object Storage Service (OBS).

Containers

You can create CCE Turbo clusters in a IEC HomeZones.

Internet and DirectConnect

IEC supports VPC, Elastic IP (EIP), and Direct Connect to provide local Internet access and Direct Connect access with low latency.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Cloud Connect are also supported.

For details about cloud services whose data plane can be deployed in IEC HomeZones, see Table 1.

**Table 1** Cloud services whose data plane can be deployed in IEC HomeZones
Category	Cloud Service
Compute	Elastic Cloud Server (ECS)
Storage	Elastic Volume Service (EVS)
Network	Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
	Elastic Load Balance (ELB)
	Elastic IP (EIP)
	Virtual Private Network (VPN)
	Direct Connect

IEC can also directly reuse management cloud services deployed in the parent region, such as Cloud Eye, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Cloud Trace Service (CTS), SoftWare Repository for Container (SWR), Enterprise Project Management Service (EPS), Key Management Service (KMS), and Tag Management Service (TMS).

In addition, the Huawei Cloud architecture provides security capabilities such as anti-DDoS, traffic monitoring system, and information security for you to ensure data security.
