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

    LA-Mexico City1

    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.

    Select Cloud services in the LA-Mexico City1, LA-Sao Paulo1, and LA-Santiago regions and Find a service by name in other regions.

    Service List

    com.myhuaweicloud.na-mexico-1.obs

    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 right OBS endpoint service for your 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 Endpoint Service Name

    -

    This parameter is available only when you select Find a service by name for Service Category.

    To access OBS as a gateway VPC endpoint service, you need to search for it by name. To obtain its name, submit a service ticket or contact the OBS O&M engineers.

    Enter the OBS endpoint service name and click Verify.

    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.

    Policy

    -

    Specifies the VPC endpoint policy.

    VPC endpoint policies are a type of resource-based policies. You can configure a policy to control which principals can use the VPC endpoint to access VPC endpoint services.

    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

    -

    Provides supplementary information about the VPC endpoint.
    Table 2 Tag requirements for VPC endpoints

    Parameter

    Requirement

    Tag key
    • Cannot be left blank.
    • Must be unique for each resource.
    • Can contain a maximum of 128 characters.
    • A tag key can contain letters, digits, spaces, and any of the following characters: _.:=+-@. It cannot start or end with a space, or start with _sys_.

    Tag value
    • Can be left blank.
    • Can contain a maximum of 255 characters.

    • If all of the settings are correct, click Submit.
    • If any of the settings are incorrect, click Previous to modify the parameter settings as needed, and click Submit.
  5. Click Back to VPC Endpoint List after the task is submitted.

    If the status of the VPC endpoint changes from Creating to Accepted, the VPC endpoint for connecting to com.myhuaweicloud.na-mexico-1.obs is created.
