Manage the dedicated proxy endpoints of an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance

Network types

Dedicated proxy endpoints come in three network types: Internal (VPC), Internal (Classic Network), and Public.

After the dedicated proxy feature is enabled, a default dedicated proxy endpoint is generated. You can retain the default network type of the default dedicated proxy endpoint. You can also create more dedicated proxy endpoints. The available network types vary based on the configuration of your RDS instance.

Create a dedicated proxy endpoint

After the dedicated proxy feature is enabled, a default dedicated proxy endpoint is generated. For more information, see Enable the dedicated proxy of an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance. You can create more dedicated proxy endpoints.
