PrivateLink

PrivateLink on Alibaba Cloud provides private connectivity to services within their network, isolating traffic from the public internet. It handles the specific job of establishing secure, direct links to cloud resources, ensuring data stays within the provider’s infrastructure rather than traversing external networks.

This setup suits teams needing strict network isolation for internal Alibaba Cloud services. The main trade-off is the lack of a free tier, meaning every connection incurs immediate costs. Since billing is strictly pay-as-you-go, there is no baseline allowance, so even minimal usage generates charges from the first hour.
