ApsaraDB for HBase Performance-enhanced Edition clusters are accessible within a virtual private cloud (VPC) by default. VPC connections provide higher security than Internet connections. To connect from outside your VPC — for example, during local development or testing — apply for a public endpoint.
Public endpoints are for development and testing only. Internet connections are not covered by a service-level agreement (SLA) and may perform poorly due to network latency and bandwidth constraints. Do not use public endpoints in production.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
An ApsaraDB for HBase Performance-enhanced Edition cluster
Access to the ApsaraDB for HBase console
Apply for a public endpoint
Log on to the ApsaraDB for HBase console.
In the top navigation bar, select the region where your cluster is deployed.
Find your cluster and click its cluster ID.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Database Connection.
In the Connection Information section, click Apply for Public Endpoint.
In the Apply for Public Endpoint dialog, click OK.
After the endpoint is provisioned, go to Database Connection > Connection Information to retrieve your connection addresses:
Java API Address
Thrift2 Access Address Using Non-Java Language
CQL Address
What's next
Before connecting over the Internet, add your public endpoint to the cluster whitelist. For details, see Configure a whitelist.
