Create a Huawei Cloud private network connection

Create a private network connection between NineData and Huawei Cloud so NineData can connect to Huawei Cloud services without exposing the database over a public network.

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.

Before you begin​

  • 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 Huawei Cloud CN East-Shanghai1. Your cloud service must be located in this region.

Procedure​

Before creating a private network connection, add the AccessKey information for the target Huawei Cloud account to NineData. For details, see Configure Huawei Cloud Access Credentials.

  1. Log in to the NineData Console.

  2. Go to Datasource > Private Link.

  3. Hover over Create PrivateLink and select Huawei Cloud from the list.

    tip
    If you haven't created Private Link before, a blank page will be displayed. In this case, please click on Create PrivateLink on the page.

  4. On the Create PrivateLink page, configure the parameters.

    Parameter
    		Description
    NameEnter a private network connection name that is easy to identify later.
    AuthorizeSelect Grant Access Permission and Auto-create.
    RegionSelect the region where the data source to be connected via the private network is located.
    Cloud Vendor Root Account IDEnter the Huawei Cloud main account ID. After entering the ID, select a blank area on the page. Continue after the Add Successfully prompt appears.
    Note: Only main account IDs are supported. Sub-account IDs are not supported. Contact the main account owner if you need the main account ID.view_hw_account_id
    Access CredentialsSelect the configured cloud vendor access credential. If no credential exists, see Configure Huawei Cloud Access Credentials.
    VPCSelect the VPC used for the endpoint.
    Important: The VPC must be the same as the cloud server VPC, or the two VPCs must have private network connectivity.

  5. Click Connection Test, wait for the prompt Connection Successfully, then click Create PrivateLink to navigate to the Install Gateway page.

    tip

    If the connection test fails, adjust the parameter configurations until the connection test succeeds.

  6. In Environment, select the operating system of your cloud server, and then follow the installation instructions on the page to connect to the target cloud server and install the gateway.

    info

    This gateway establishes a connection between the data source and the Huawei Cloud endpoint over the private network. The cloud server used for gateway installation must have private network connectivity with the Huawei Cloud endpoint; otherwise, the gateway connection fails.

  7. After installation is complete, the Install Gateway page shows Gateway Connected. Click Completed and back to List.

Result​

The Huawei Cloud private network connection is created in NineData and can be used when you add or manage Huawei Cloud data sources.
