Endpoints

{: #endpts}

Standard and Enterprise plans

{: #ep_plans}

The Standard and Enterprise plans offer the choice of Public, Private, or both Public and Private endpoints.

• Public network service endpoint is accessible from anywhere on the internet.
• Private network service endpoint access traverses only the {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} backbone network, not the public internet.

Instance creation

{: ep_inst_create}

At the time of instance creation, you can select your choice of endpoint from the Service Endpoints box on {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}}.
