📄️ About Virtual Private Cloud and L2 Network
A VPC is a higher-level abstraction that allows you to create isolated network environments with more advanced features. A VPC can include multiple tiers, such as public and private subnets, and it provides for the implementation of advanced networking features like VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and ACLs.
📄️ Create, List and View VPCs
Managing VPCs is important because it gives you full control over your cloud network. By creating, listing, and viewing VPCs, you can organize your resources better, keep track of active networks, and quickly access details when you need to manage or troubleshoot them.
📄️ Overview
To view a list of sections and the various operations or actions you can perform by going inside the particular section, click on the VPC name. Below the VPC name is an informational view where you can find the details below.
📄️ Creating VPC Subnets and Tiers
VPCs follow the convention of 3-tiered architectures, 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.

📄️ IPv4 Addresses and VPC
IPv4 Addresses are an integral part of using VPC networking, and need to be used to access various components of the VPC. By default, a public IPv4 Address is assigned to the VR which can communicate through the internet to transmit traffic to/from the VR. This IPv4 can also be used for configuring remote access (L2TP) and site-to-site (IPSec) VPN connections.
📄️ Managing Access Control on VPC Subnets
Access control policies can be created using Access Control Lists (ACL) and configuring rules within these ACL (called ACL Rules). An ACL can then be applied to any tier within the VPC. These policies govern what traffic is allowed or restricted into and from your VPC network tiers.
📄️ Reconfiguring a VPC
The Reconfigure section/tab lists your current subscription details and allows you to reconfigure the networking pack or switch between hourly and monthly pricing.
📄️ 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.
