An IBM Cloud Virtual Private Endpoint (VPE) provides a connection point from a Virtual Private Cloud
(VPC) to other IBM Cloud services. This allows secure, private communication between resources
within a VPC and IBM Cloud services without traversing the public internet, enhancing security and
performance.
What is a Virtual Private Endpoint? VPE is a mechanism that enables private connections from a VPC
to supported IBM Cloud services such as databases, object storage, and others. It eliminates the
need for public IP addresses and reduces the exposure to potential attacks over the public internet.
Why This Option Describes VPE: It clearly explains that VPE is for connecting VPC resources to other
IBM Cloud services, fitting the purpose of secure, internal cloud communication.
Comparison with Other Options:
A (Classic to microservices), C (VPC to on-premises), D (Classic to on-premises): None accurately
describe the function of a Virtual Private Endpoint in IBM Cloud.
