Can an External Server Access GaussDB Instances?

DB Instance Bound with an EIP

If the GaussDB instance is publicly accessible, you can access the DB instance over public networks.

DB Instance Not Bound with an EIP

  • Enable a VPN in a VPC and use the VPN to connect to the GaussDB instance.
  • Create a GaussDB instance and an ECS in the same VPN. Then, use the ECS to access the GaussDB instance.

For details, see Using gsql to Connect to an Instance.
