VPC network

Set up VPC networking so that your clusters can communicate privately with applications.

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network allows applications running on instances on the same cloud provider as your Yugabyte Cloud clusters to communicate with those clusters without traversing the public internet; all traffic stays within the cloud provider's network.

In Yugabyte Cloud, a VPC network consists of a VPC where you can deploy clusters, and a peering connection that links the cluster VPC to an application VPC on the same cloud provider.

Use VPC networks to lower network latencies, make your application and database infrastructure more secure, and reduce network data transfer costs.

VPCs and peering connections are managed in Yugabyte Cloud on the VPC Network tab of the Network Access page.

Note

To use VPC peering in a cluster, your cluster must be deployed in a dedicated VPC that is peered with your application VPC. You must set up a dedicated VPC before deploying your cluster.

VPC peering is not supported in free clusters.
