Alibaba Cloud Networking

Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN)

Alibaba Cloud’s CEN builds a private global network connecting your VPCs across regions. It handles the routing and connectivity for enterprise-scale deployments, letting you link disparate cloud resources into a single, managed network fabric without complex manual peering setups.

This suits large organizations needing consistent cross-region connectivity, but there is no free tier to test the architecture. You pay strictly on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning every connection incurs immediate costs from the start, which can add up quickly if you are experimenting with multiple regional links.
