VPC Endpoints

VPC endpoints are secure and private channels for connecting VPCs to VPC endpoint services.

You can buy a VPC endpoint to connect a resource in your VPC to a VPC endpoint service in another VPC of the same region.

A VPC endpoint comes with a VPC endpoint service. VPC endpoints vary depending on the type of the VPC endpoint services that they can access.

• VPC endpoints are classified into interface VPC endpoints and gateway VPC endpoints based on the types of VPC endpoint services they access.
  • Interface VPC endpoints: They access interface VPC endpoint services and are elastic network interfaces that have private IP addresses.
  • Gateway VPC endpoints: They access gateway VPC endpoint services and serve as gateways with routes configured to distribute traffic to the associated gateway VPC endpoint services.
• There are professional and basic VPC endpoints. Different editions have different features.
  • Professional: This newly released VPC endpoint type is available in the CN East2, ME-Riyadh, CN East-Qingdao, and AF-Cairo regions. A VPC endpoint supports up to 10 Gbit/s of bandwidth and IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack.
  • Basic: Basic VPC endpoints refer to previous VPC endpoints.

VPC endpoints for accessing gateway VPC endpoint services can be purchased only in regions LA-Mexico City1, LA-Sao Paulo1, and LA-Santiago.
