Configure Huawei Cloud Access Credentials

NineData uses Huawei Cloud access credentials to create VPC endpoints, query required Huawei Cloud resources such as ECS, RDS, and VPC, and establish private connectivity between NineData and your database.

Permission Policy

Huawei Cloud credentials must include the permissions in the policy below.

{
    "Version": "1.1",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "vpc:vpcs:list",
                "vpc:subnets:create",
                "vpc:subnets:get"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "vpcep:pubEpservices:list",
                "vpcep:epserviceDesc:get",
                "vpcep:endpoints:create",
                "vpcep:endpoints:list"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ecs:cloudServers:showServer",
                "ecs:servers:list",
                "ecs:cloudServers:list"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "rds:instance:list"
            ]

tip

If you use an IAM account, ask a Huawei Cloud administrator to grant the required policy to that IAM account.

Step 1: Create a Custom Policy

1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud IAM Console.

2. Go to Permissions > Policies/Roles.

3. Click Create Custom Policy.

4. Enter a Policy Name.

   tip

   The policy name supports 1 to 64 characters and can contain English letters, Chinese characters, numbers, spaces, and these special characters: -_.,.

5. In Policy View, select JSON.

6. Copy the policy in Permission Policy, paste it into Policy Content, and click OK.

Step 2: Add an AccessKey Credential

1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud IAM Console.

2. Authorize the user group, and add the target user to this user group.

   tip

   Use the IAM user whose access key will be added to NineData.

3. Open the Huawei Cloud Access Key page and obtain the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. For more information, see Managing IAM User Access Keys.

4. Log in to the NineData Console.

   Go to **Datasource** > **Access Credentials**, and click **Create Credentials**.
