It explains the product, how it differs from standard editions, the function of a dedicated domain link, and how to configure the link for Qoder CN Desktop, the Qoder CN JetBrains plugin, QoderWork CN, and the Qoder CN CLI.
This guide walks you through the complete onboarding process, from understanding the Enterprise VPC Edition and obtaining your dedicated domain, to configuring your clients and verifying a successful connection.
The Qoder CN (Suite) Enterprise VPC Edition is a dedicated instance deployed on the Alibaba Cloud public cloud for enterprise customers. Unlike standard editions that use a shared public entry point, the Enterprise VPC Edition provides your organization with a dedicated service instance and access point.
The Enterprise VPC Edition supports connections to an Alibaba Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) through a dedicated connection, providing an access method suitable for enterprise networks. For customers who require internal network access, dedicated connections, access control, security compliance, or data boundaries, the Enterprise VPC Edition offers an ideal deployment and usage model.
A dedicated domain link is the exclusive entry point for accessing the Qoder CN management console and related services.
The dedicated domain link is used in the following scenarios: an administrator accesses the Organization Settings page to configure members, seats, and the enterprise instance; an enterprise member accesses their personal account page to view usage details; and it is required for clients, plugins, or command-line tools to connect to the dedicated Enterprise VPC instance.
