Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Overview

Last Updated on 2020-06-30


Features

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private network interface that maximizes users' data privacy and security with truly isolated instances. VPC is completely isolated from the public space. Outsiders, therefore, cannot access the server and upload or download your data via a public network (e.g., SSH). Store your sensitive data in this isolated server will give you the greatest peace of mind.

Initial Setup of Virtual Private Cloud

To use Virtual Private Cloud, you need to use our CentOS 8 VPC template and manually modify the private network settings with your preferred IP through the console.
