- Private connectivity between workloads
- Public IPs and load balancing
- Self-service from the portal
- Transparent CAD pricing
Why teams choose Networking
VPCs and isolated networks at $3/mo each in CAD, L2 networks free, additional IPv4 from $3/mo — no per-gigabyte transfer charges.
Build the topology you need
Compose private VM-to-VM links or multi-tier VPCs with routing and firewall rules to fit your applications.
Self-service from the portal
Create networks, subnets, routes, and rules yourself without filing a ticket.
No per-gigabyte transfer surprises
Traffic across your networks is never metered, so there is no bandwidth bill to forecast.
Transparent CAD pricing
Network resources carry simple monthly prices in Canadian dollars, with free L2 networks.
Networking features
Everything you need to build and scale.
VPCs with subnets and routing
Build multi-tier VPCs with subnets, route tables, and firewall rules.
Isolated and L2 networks
Use isolated networks for private connectivity or free L2 networks for layer-2 links.
Private connectivity between workloads
Link instances and clusters privately without traversing the public internet.
Public IPs and floating IPs
Acquire additional IPv4 addresses and floating IPs and map them where you need them.

How Networking works
- 1
Create a network
In the portal, choose a VPC, isolated network, or L2 network in your region.
- 2
Define subnets and routing
Add subnets and route tables to shape how traffic flows.
- 3
Apply firewall rules
Set ingress and egress rules to control access between tiers.
- 4
Attach workloads
Place instances and clusters onto the network for private connectivity.
- 5
Add public access
Acquire IPs and add load balancing where you need to reach the internet.
