VPC: Virtual Private Cloud as a Service
Today we have a big update: a whole new product.
It is a service that allows you to combine and isolate servers in a single private network. An isolated private network gives you a more secure connection between pooled resources and a higher data transfer rate of 1 Gbps.
Here's what's important about our VPC:
→ At the moment, you can add servers, databases, and load balancers to private networks.
→ A private network, for obvious reasons, can be created within a particular location. At the moment, Poland and the Netherlands are available.
→ You can create as many private networks as you need. No restrictions. The networks themselves are free, and you pay only for the computing resources: servers, databases or load balancers.
→ A range of IP addresses is allocated for each network when it’s created. You can use the default subnet or set it manually.
So, now there is a new section in your control panel called "Private Networks". That's where all the magic happens: creating networks, managing settings, adding servers, etc. However, you can also create a private network when creating a specific service, for example, a new server.
And one caveat. For now, you can only add new servers to private networks. That is, if a server was already created before today, you cannot move it to the network—yet. We will fix it soon.
