Process Description

Establish network connectivity to enable ECSs in your VPC to communicate with your data center or private network.

To do so, you first need to apply for a connection to reserve the port used to connect your on-premises data center to the Direct Connect location you select. After that, create a virtual gateway and associate it with a VPC, and finally create a virtual interface to connect to the VPC.

For details, see Establishing Network Connectivity.

Figure 1 shows the whole process for connecting your on-premises data center to the cloud.
