## 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.

### Firewall rules and load balancing

Apply firewall rules per network and pair with load balancing to distribute traffic.

### Self-service portal control

Create, edit, and tear down network resources from the portal.

| Self-service topology | Design and change your network from the portal without filing tickets or waiting on a team. |
| Transparent CAD pricing | Simple monthly prices in Canadian dollars with no NAT-gateway or data-processing add-ons. |
| Sovereign Canadian infrastructure | Your network runs on infrastructure ZSoftly owns in Canada, with data residency you control. |

## Use cases for Networking

- Multi-tier application architectures

- Hybrid topologies spanning regions

## How Networking works

1. 1

   ### Create a network

   In the portal, choose a VPC, isolated network, or L2 network in your region.
2. 2

   ### Define subnets and routing

   Add subnets and route tables to shape how traffic flows.
3. 3

   ### Apply firewall rules

   Set ingress and egress rules to control access between tiers.
4. 4

   ### Attach workloads

   Place instances and clusters onto the network for private connectivity.
5. 5

   ### Add public access

   Acquire IPs and add load balancing where you need to reach the internet.
