Creating a Private Network Connection with Huawei Cloud

NineData supports creating a private network connection to bridge the internal network of NineData and Huawei Cloud. You don't need to apply for a public network address for cloud services; you can connect to cloud services through NineData.

caution

This operation will create a new endpoint under your cloud provider account to establish connectivity between NineData and the cloud provider services within the intranet environment. Charges may apply for the endpoint service. For detailed cost information, please refer to your cloud provider's official billing documentation.

Prerequisites

• Your data source is hosted on Huawei Cloud.
• You have purchased a Huawei Cloud cloud server to install the NineData gateway. The cloud server and the VPC of the cloud database are the same, or the cloud server and the cloud database can communicate over the internal network.

Limitations

The current supported region for establishing a private network connection is . Your cloud service must be located in this region.

Procedure

To create a private network connection, you need to pre-enter the Access Key information of the target Huawei Cloud account into the NineData console. For more information, please refer to Configuring Cloud Vendor Access Credentials.
