VPC networks
VPC networks can be used to create virtual, isolated networks between creoline servers. A VPC network provides an isolated environment that allows resources to be logically separated from each other. This allows data traffic within the VPC to be efficiently managed and controlled.
Managing a VPC network involves the configuration of subnets, routing tables, firewall rules and other network components. It requires knowledge of network architecture, IP addressing, security and connectivity.
VPC networks are permanently free of charge and are not included in the traffic calculation. More information on traffic calculation
Manage VPC networks
Navigate to the menu item Server → Networks, to display all VPC networks.
The VPC networks created can be managed and customized here.
Create VPC network
To create a VPC network, navigate to the menu item *Server → Networks.
Once there, you can create a new VPC network by clicking on "Create network".
You can create up to 10 VPC networks within an organization.
| Value | Property |
|---|---|
| Name | The freely selectable name for your VPC network |
| Project | Assign the VPC network to a project. Projects can be created under Server → Projects |
| Type | The type of network, in this case a VPC network |
| Network (CIDR) | The desired address space to define the CIDR block for the VPC network (e.g. 10.20.0.2/24) |
| Description | A freely selectable description for your VPC network |
Examples for VPC networks:
| Subnet | First address | Last address | Usable addresses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10.20.0.0/24 | 10.20.0.1 | 10.20.0.254 | 254 |
| 10.20.0.0/23 | 10.20.0.1 | 10.20.1.254 | 510 |
| 10.20.0.0/22 | 10.20.0.1 | 10.20.3.254 | 1.022 |
| 10.20.0.0/21 | 10.20.0.1 | 10.20.7.254 | 2.046 |
| 10.20.0.0/20 | 10.20.0.1 | 10.20.15.254 | 4.094 |
Once you have created the VPC network, you can then view and customize it in the "Networks" list.
Remove VPC networks
You can also quickly remove VPC networks that you have created. To do this, simply navigate to VPC network → Settings and select "Remove network" to remove the VPC network.
If you remove a network, it is irrevocably deleted. Please take care not to remove the wrong VPC network.
Connect network card to a VPC network
To connect a network card to an existing VPC network, navigate to Server → Your server → Network and create a new network card.
To connect your VPC network to a network card, select your VPC network under "Network".
The new network card is automatically added to your server and configured for Debian and Ubuntu-based servers. It can be used shortly after creation in the customer center.
| value | property |
|---|---|
| Server | The server on which the network map is created |
| Network | The VPC network to be used |
| IP address | The IP address of the VPC network to be used |
| Speed | Freely selectable Internet speed - default 1000 MB/s |
| Enable firewall | If this setting is active, the firewall rules on this network interface are taken into account. |
| Enable interface | Deactivate this option to temporarily disable the network interface. |
