E2E CloudA VPC is a private network in your TIR project, with an IPv4 address range you choose. Virtual machines on a CPU plan that you place on the same VPC reach each other over private addresses, with no public IP and no hop over the public internet. Use one when the machines of an application, such as a web tier and its database, need to talk to each other privately.
A VPC is ready to use as soon as it is Active, and you can put machines on it straight away, with no routing, gateway, or address assignment to set up. Each VPC is a network of its own, so its traffic stays apart from every other VPC.
VPC sits under Networking in the side menu, beside two related screens. Reserve IP keeps an IP address for you, and Security Groups decide which traffic your resources accept and send.
