A private network solution that allows secure communication between Vultr instances without using public internet connections.
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network creates a secure and isolated private networking interface to enable connections to other instances attached to the same network. You can attach multiple VPC 2.0 networks to enable secure connections between a Vultr Optimized Cloud Compute instance and other instances attached to the same VPC network.
Follow this guide to attach a VPC network to a Vultr Optimized Cloud Compute instance using the Vultr Customer Portal, API, CLI, or Terraform.
Send a GET
request to the List Instances endpoint and note your target instance's ID.
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/instances" \
-X GET \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
Send a GET
request to the List VPCs endpoint to list all available VPCs and note the target VPC network ID.
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/vpcs" \
-X GET \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
Send a POST
request to the Attach VPC to Instance endpoint to attach the VPC network to the instance.
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/instances/{instance-id}/vpcs/attach" \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
"vpc_id": "<vpc-id>"
}'
List all available instances and note your target instance's ID.
$ vultr-cli instance list
List all available VPC networks and note the target VPC network ID.
$ vultr-cli vpc list
Attach the VPC network to the instance.
$ vultr-cli instance vpc attach <instance-id> <vpc-id>
Open your Terraform configuration for the existing Optimized Cloud Compute instance.
Create (or reference) a VPC network and attach it to the instance.
# Create a VPC network
resource "vultr_vpc" "app_net" {
region = "del"
description = "Private network for OCC workloads"
}
# Attach the VPC network to the Optimized Cloud Compute instance
resource "vultr_instance" "occ" {
label = "occ-01"
region = "del"
plan = "vhp-2c-4gb"
os_id = 2284
hostname = "occ-01"
vpc_ids = [vultr_vpc.app_net.id]
}
Apply the configuration and observe the following output:
Apply complete! Resources: 2 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
