Use Cases

Build Dedicated Networks

Build Dedicated Networks

Leverage VPC to quickly build dedicated networks, deploy applications in subnets you define, and allow internet access through EIPs.

Advantages

  • Flexible Configuration

    Define networks, configure subnets on demand, and assign EIPs on a flexible basis.

  • Controlled Access

    Customize your dedicated network by specifying the IP address ranges, selecting subnets, and assigning EIPs.

Related Services
Host Secure Web Services

Host Secure Web Services

Securely host web applications in a VPC and control access with security group rules you create.

Advantages

  • High Concurrency

    Use ELB together with your VPCs to ensure that your web applications can be concurrently accessed by a large number of users without interruptions.

  • Resource Auto Scaling

    Auto Scaling (AS) automatically scales resources, ensuring service availability in the event of traffic spikes.

Deploy Hybrid Clouds

Deploy Hybrid Clouds

Easily build a hybrid cloud by using Direct Connect or VPN to connect VPCs to your on-premises data center and migrate data to the cloud.

Advantages

  • Multiple Connectivity Options

    Direct Connect provides secure, dedicated, high-speed network connections. VPNs offer secure IPsec communication tunnels and are cost-effective.

  • Cloud and Data Center Connection

    Migrate applications and data from your on-premises data center to the cloud and vice versa, to ensure application and data availability at both locations.

Quick Start

This document describes how to prepare for and quickly create a VPC with an IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR block.

CIDR Block Types

IPv4: When you create a VPC and subnet, IPv4 CIDR block is used by default. Servers on the IPv4 network cannot access IPv6 services on the Internet or provide services accessible from users using an IPv6 client. For details about how to set up an IPv4 network, see Setting Up an IPv4 Network.

IPv6: When you need to access the IPv6 services on the Internet or provide services accessible from users using an IPv6 client, you need to enable the IPv6 function. After the IPv6 function is enabled, you can provide services for users using an IPv4 or IPv6 client. For details about how to set up an IPv6 network, see Setting Up an IPv6 Network.

Preparations

Registering with HUAWEI CLOUD and Completing Real-Name Authentication

If you already have an authenticated HUAWEI CLOUD account, skip this part. If you do not have a HUAWEI CLOUD account, perform the following operations to create an account:

1. Visit the HUAWEI CLOUD official website.

2. Click Register and complete the registration as instructed.

After the registration, the system automatically redirects you to your personal information page.

3. Complete real-name authentication by following the instructions in Individual Real-Name Authentication.

Top Up Your Account
