Accessing a VPC Endpoint Using a Private IP Address

Perform the following operations to access a VPC endpoint using its private IP address:

  1. In the VPC that the VPC endpoint belongs to, log in to the backend resource, for example, an ECS.
  2. Select a command based on the backend resource type and run the command to access the VPC endpoint. The command format is as follows:

    Command Private IP address:Port number

    The following is a command example:

Accessing a VPC Endpoint (Using a Private Domain Name)

You can access a VPC endpoint using its private domain name if you select Create a Private Domain Name when creating the endpoint.

The system automatically creates a private zone for the generated domain name and adds A record set for the private zone to resolve the domain name into the private IP address of the VPC endpoint.

You can view the corresponding private zone and its resolution records on the DNS console.

Viewing the record set of the private domain name

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. In the service list, choose Network > Domain Name Service.

    The DNS console is displayed.

  3. In the navigation pane, choose Private Zones.

    The Private Zones page is displayed.

  1. In the private zone list, click the name of the target private zone.

    The record set page is displayed.

  2. In the record set list, locate the target A record set and view its information.

    When the value in the Status column changes to Normal, the resolution takes effect.

Accessing a VPC endpoint using a private domain name

  1. In the VPC that the VPC endpoint belongs to, log in to the backend resource, for example, an ECS.
  2. Select a command based on the backend resource type and run the command to access the VPC endpoint. The command format is as follows:

    Command Private domain name:Port number

    The following is a command example:

    curl Private domain name:Port number
