Alibaba Cloud provides two main options for securely connecting a VPC with a traditional IDC: VPN (Virtual Private Network) and a dedicated leased line connection. These methods enable stable and secure communication between the VPC and on-premises environments. HTTP agents and stepping stones (options B and C) are not standard or secure methods for IDC-VPC connectivity.

Alibaba Cloud ECS allows users to set an auto-release time for Pay-As-You-Go instances, giving flexibility in handling temporary workloads without manually releasing instances. Notably, the auto-release time can be adjusted multiple times even after the instance has been created, allowing for modifications as business needs change. This feature provides a convenient way to manage costs by automatically releasing instances when they are no longer needed. However, once the auto-release time is set, it must be adjusted or canceled if changes are required.

When using Alibaba Cloud SLB to forward layer 7 (HTTP) service requests, SLB will replace the IP address in the HTTP header file to forward requests. Therefore, the source IP address that can be seen on the backend ECS instance is the IP address of SLB instead of the client’s real IP address. However, SLB also provides a feature called X-Forwarded-For (XFF) that can help you obtain the real IP address of the client. XFF is a standard HTTP header field that records the original IP address of the client and the proxy servers that the request passes through. You can enable XFF on the SLB console or by using the API, and then configure your backend ECS instance to parse the XFF header field and get the real IP address of the client. References: 1 - SLB overview - Alibaba Cloud Document Center - Layer 7 listeners - X-Forwarded-For
