VPC Endpoint Services

A VPC endpoint service is a cloud service or a private service that can be accessed through a VPC endpoint.

There are two types of VPC endpoint services: gateway and interface.

Gateway VPC endpoint services are created only for cloud services.
Interface VPC endpoint services can be created for both cloud services and your private services. All VPC endpoint services for cloud services are created by default while those for private services need to be created by users themselves.

Gateway endpoint services are configured from cloud services by the system. You do not have the permission to configure such services but can select them when creating a VPC endpoint.

Supported cloud services vary in different regions. For details, see the list of services that can be configured on the management console.
