To isolate ECS instances within different VSwitches in a VPC while allowing them to access the internet and other intranet resources, each VSwitch's instances should be in separate Security Groups. By configuring each group to allow all VPC CIDR blocks first and then restricting access to other VSwitch CIDR blocks with a higher priority rule, instances in each VSwitch are isolated without affecting the VPC's external connections. This approach follows Alibaba Cloud's Security Group best practices and CIDR-based access control within VPC environments.

=================

Different Alibaba Cloud VPCs are completely isolated from each other by default, but they can communicate with each other over the intranet by using different methods, such as Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN), VPN gateways, VPC peering connections, and PrivateLink. These methods allow you to establish secure and reliable connections between VPCs without exposing your network traffic to the internet. References:

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.
