On HUAWEI CLOUD, if a user wants to enable an Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) to...

The statement is FALSE because directly binding an EIP to an ECS is only one of several Huawei Cloud mechanisms for providing Internet access. An ECS with its own EIP can communicate directly with the public network, but ECSs can also access the Internet without having an EIP individually bound to each server .

The principal alternative is a public NAT Gateway using an SNAT rule . Huawei Cloud states that servers in a VPC subnet can share an EIP through a public NAT gateway. The NAT gateway translates their private source addresses into the configured public EIP, enabling outbound Internet connectivity while avoiding the need to expose or allocate an individual public IP address to every ECS.

Huawei's ECS documentation also explicitly describes “Internet connectivity for an ECS without an EIP bound” and recommends NAT Gateway as the standard solution. A proxy/SNAT ECS can also provide an Internet access path in suitable architectures.

Therefore, binding an EIP directly to the ECS is a valid method, but it is not the only method , making the statement false.
