Virtual Private Cloud

Your own address space, split into subnets. Security groups and network ACLs decide what talks to what. Floating IPs and internet gateways decide what reaches the outside.

  • Custom IP ranges & subnets
  • Security groups & network ACLs
  • Floating IPs & internet gateways

Features

Where Your Instances Live

Every compute instance launches into a subnet you define. Who may create or change a network is set in IAM.

Secure Connectivity

Protect your resources with security groups, network ACLs, and private IP addressing.

Floating IPs & Internet Gateways

Attach public addresses to instances and control egress with internet gateways and per-VPC DNS policies.

Use Cases

Secure Application Hosting

Put app servers in a private subnet with no route to the internet gateway; expose only the tier that needs a floating IP.

Hybrid Deployments Planned

Site-to-site VPN and dedicated interconnect are planned; today VPCs are reachable via internet gateways and floating IPs.

Multi-Tier Architectures

Public subnet for the exposed tier, private subnets for app and database, security groups between them.
