In our Public Cloud, you have the option to create your own VPC.
What is a VPC?
A VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a private, isolated segment within the Public Cloud. A VPC has its own virtual network topology, which resembles a normal physical network. You can run instances in your VPC that have private addresses in the CIDR you have specified, for example: 10.0.0.0/16.
Within a VPC, multiple network options are possible:
- VPC with only a public gateway
- VPC with public and private gateways
- VPC with public and private gateways and site-to-site VPN access
How do I create a VPC?
Log in to the Public Cloud
Choose the Network heading on the left and then VPC
Click on Add VPC
A new window will appear. Here you enter the details for your VPC.Name: a name for the VPC Description: a short description of the VPC. Zone: currently only AMS06 is available CIDR: Here you specify the CIDR range for all underlying networks in your VPC (network tiers) For example, if a VPC has a main CIDR of 10.0.0.0/16, the underlying networks can have the range of 10.0.1.0/24, 10.0.2.0/24, 10.0.3.0/24, etc. The CIDR must be RFC1918-compliant. Network domain: if you want to assign a special domain name, specify the DNS suffix. This is used on all network tiers within the VPC. Leave it empty for an automatically generated name. VPC Offering: choose the offering you want to use for this VPC. DNS: If you want to use specific DNS servers. IPv4 address for the VR in this Network: you should leave this empty and it will be added automatically. Click OK
After creating it, you can add a Network to your VPC so you can create instances.
