📄️ About Virtual Private Clouds
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a software-defined networking capability on Ananta that allows cloud users to simulate a traditional private cloud environment on a public cloud. Using VPC, users can control a host of features and configurations including subnet/tier management, access control using ACL, NAT-ing using IPv4, managing site-to-site or remote VPN connections, or in some advanced cases, terminating their MPLS connections directly on the VPC.

📄️ Create, List and View VPCs
This section explains how to create and view VPCs. Creating and viewing VPCs helps you organize your resources (instances), keep track of active networks, and quickly access details for management and troubleshooting.
📄️ Internal LB Rule
An internal Load Balancer (LB) is a type of load balancer that routes traffic to workloads within a
📄️ Creating VPC Subnets/Tiers
VPCs follow the convention of 3-tiered network architecture, with web, app, and DB tiers forming the norm. You can, however, configure these tiers to suit your application architecture or just follow the common convention.
📄️ Managing Access Control on VPC Subnets
This section describes how to manage Access Control List (ACL) on VPC. An ACL is a set of rules for controlling and filtering incoming and outgoing network traffic and reducing network attacks.

📄️ IPv4 Addresses and VPC
IPv4 Addresses are an integral part of using VPC networking and are required to access various components of the VPC. By default, the Public IP address is assigned to the VR, allowing it to communicate over the Public network to transmit traffic to/from the VR. This address can also be used for configuring remote access (L2TP) and site-to-site (IPSec) VPN connections.
📄️ Working with VPN Connections in a VPC
The VPC feature on Ananta provides advanced networking capabilities for use with VPN gateways and connections over an IPSec tunnel. Ananta gives the ability to create virtual private networks (VPN) to access virtual machines inside a VPC.
📄️ VPC Management and Basic Operations
VPC management offers the following operations. These are basic VPC management actions and don't have any impact on the actual network configurations.
