VPC

Introduction​

E2E Networks Virtual Private Cloud enables you to launch E2E nodes into a virtual network that you've defined. This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you'd operate in your own data centre. VPC networks provide a more secure connection between resources because the network is inaccessible from the public internet and other VPC networks. Traffic within a VPC network doesn’t count against bandwidth usage.
