A VPC is a private network inside a TIR project. You choose its IPv4 address range, and the resources you place on it reach each other over private addresses instead of over the public internet. Use a VPC when your resources need to talk to each other privately.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- You choose the private address range of the VPC.
- Resources on the same VPC reach each other directly over private addresses, with no public IP needed.
- Each VPC is a separate network, and its traffic stays apart from every other VPC, even one that uses the same range.
- A VPC is ready to use as soon as its status reads Active, and you can put machines on it straight away, with no routing, gateway, or address assignment to set up.
Projects and regions
Section titled “Projects and regions”A VPC belongs to one project in one region, and the machines on it come from that same project and region. The VPC page shows the VPCs of the project and region you have selected.
Statuses
Section titled “Statuses”| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Creating | TIR is setting up the VPC. You can use it once it turns Active, which happens by itself. |
| Active | The VPC is ready. |
| Failed | Setting up the VPC failed, and it cannot be used. Delete it and try again. |
How many you can have
Section titled “How many you can have”An account can have five VPCs in each region, counted across all its projects. Support can raise the limit. An address range is /16 at the largest and /28 at the smallest.
What can use a VPC
Section titled “What can use a VPC”Virtual machines on a CPU plan in Delhi and Chennai can use a VPC. You choose it under VPC in Network & Security when you create the machine, or use Attach VPC on the machine afterward. A machine holds one VPC at a time, and attaching or detaching restarts it. The VPC must be Active, in the machine’s own region, and have enough free IPs for the machines you launch. Instances and inference services get a private address another way: a reserved IP of Type Private from a VPC in your E2E MyAccount project, described in Reserved IPs.
Every project also has a default VPC that TIR manages for it. It stays off the list, and you cannot rename or delete
it. The name default is reserved, so give your own VPC a different name.
Billing
Section titled “Billing”A VPC is free. Network resources are billed separately from the compute charge of the resources that use them. For the rates of other resources, see E2E’s pricing page.
What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”Create a VPC, rename it, or delete it. To choose a range, see VPC address ranges. To connect an instance or an inference service to a VPC in your E2E MyAccount project, see Reserved IPs and reserve an IP of Type Private.
