Step 2: Buy a VPC Endpoint for Connecting to OBS

Scenarios

This section describes how you can buy a VPC endpoint to securely access OBS from an on-premises data center through an intranet.

Prerequisites

The required VPC endpoint service is available.

Procedure

  1. Go to the VPC endpoint list page.
  2. On the VPC Endpoints page, click Buy VPC Endpoint.

    The Buy VPC Endpoint page is displayed.

  3. Configure VPC endpoint parameters.
    Table 1 VPC endpoint parameters

    Parameter

    Example Value

    Description

    Region

    CN-Hong Kong

    Specifies the region where the VPC endpoint will be used to connect a VPC endpoint service.

    Resources in different regions cannot communicate with each other over an intranet. For lower latency and quicker access, select the region nearest to your on-premises data center.

    Billing Mode

    Pay-per-use

    Specifies the billing mode of the VPC endpoint.

    Only pay-per-use billing is supported.

    Service Category

    Cloud services

    There are two options:

    • Cloud services: Select this value if the VPC endpoint service to be accessed is a cloud service.
    • Find a service by name: Select this value if the VPC endpoint service to be accessed is a private service of your own.

    In this example, select Cloud services.

    Service List

    -

    This parameter is available only when you select Cloud services for Service Category.

    The VPC endpoint service has been created by the O&M personnel and can be directly selected.

    Select the VPC endpoint service for OBS by region:

    • LA-Mexico City1: com.myhuaweicloud.na-mexico-1.obs
    • LA-Sao Paulo1: com.myhuaweicloud.sa-brazil-1.obs
    • LA-Santiago: com.myhuaweicloud.la-south-2.obs

    In this example, select com.myhuaweicloud.na-mexico-1.obs in the LA-Mexico City1 region.

    VPC

    -

    Specifies the VPC where the VPC endpoint is to be deployed.

    Route Table

    -

    This parameter is available only when you create a VPC endpoint for connecting to a gateway VPC endpoint service.

    NOTE:

    This parameter is available only in the regions where the route table function is enabled.

    You are advised to select all route tables. Otherwise, the access to the gateway VPC endpoint service may fail.

    Select a route table in the VPC where the VPC endpoint will be created.

    For details about how to add a route, see Adding a Custom Route in the Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

    Tag

    example_key1

    example_value1

    Specifies the tag that is used to classify and identify the VPC endpoint.

    The tag settings can be modified after the VPC endpoint is purchased

    Description
