Can I Connect My VKE Cluster to a VPC 2.0 Network?

Updated on 20 November, 2025

VKE clusters are only compatible with legacy VPC Networks and cannot be connected to VPC 2.0 networks.


No, Vultr Kubernetes Engine (VKE) currently only supports clusters deployed on the legacy VPC Network and is not compatible with VPC 2.0.

By default, every VKE cluster is provisioned within a VPC, and all worker nodes communicate over this network. You can attach other resources, such as Vultr Cloud Compute instances, Block Storage, or Load Balancers to the same VPC to enable private networking and access internal cluster endpoints.

This ensures secure internal communication while maintaining isolation from public networks. VPC 2.0 networks cannot be used with existing VKE clusters due to differences in networking architecture and routing rules.

Note
Vultr VPC 2.0 will reach end-of-life on December 31, 2025. We recommend using the standard Vultr VPC Networks for all new deployments. The enhanced Vultr VPC provides improved performance and scalability, with additional features planned in future updates.
