NAT Gateway and Other Services¶
Cloud Service | Interaction | Reference |
|---|---|---|
Direct Connect | On-premises servers connected to a VPC through Direct Connect can use a public NAT gateway to communicate with the Internet. | Allowing On-Premises Servers to Communicate with the Internet |
Virtual Private Network (VPN) | A VPN establishes an encrypted, Internet-based communication tunnel between your on-premises network and a VPC. This ensures secure access to the Internet through a public NAT gateway. | Allowing On-Premises Servers to Communicate with the Internet |
Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) | ECSs can use a public NAT gateway to communicate with the Internet. | Allowing a Private Network to Access the Internet Using SNAT Allowing Internet Users to Access a Service in a Private Network Using DNAT |
VPC | ECSs in a VPC can connect to the Internet. | Allowing a Private Network to Access the Internet Using SNAT |
Elastic IP (EIP) | With a public NAT gateway, servers in a VPC can share an EIP to access the Internet or provide Internet-accessible services. | Allowing a Private Network to Access the Internet Using SNAT Allowing Internet Users to Access a Service in a Private Network Using DNAT |
Cloud Eye | You can view NAT gateway monitoring data on the Cloud Eye console. | |
Identity and Access Management (IAM) | If you need to assign different permissions to employees in your enterprise to control their access to your NAT Gateway resources, IAM is a good choice for fine-grained permissions management. | |
Cloud Trace Service (CTS) | With CTS, you can record operations on NAT Gateway for later query, audit, and backtracking. |
