VPC

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a logically isolated network in a cloud environment where users can launch resources in a defined and controlled manner. It acts as the core network boundary for your resources, including compute, storage, and networking components, offering security and traffic control. The best analogy for a VPC is to consider if you are building a neighbourhood, where you will put all your resources (VM, Storage in this case), which is isolated from other neighbourhoods created by you or other resources, the neighbourhood here is the VPC

Key Properties

  • VPCs are region-specific and cannot span multiple regions.

  • Resources that require VPC attachment:

    • GPU VMs

    • CPU VMs

    • Block Storage

    • Subnets

    • Security Groups

    • Static IP Addresses

  • Resources excluded from VPCs:

    • AI Pods

    • Object Storage (region-dependent, not VPC dependent)

    • AI Studio services

    • AI Solution services

    • Ola Maps services

One VPC is free for all customers. After that, all VPCs created will be priced at Rs 0.28 per VPC per hour.

Creating a VPC

  1. Go to the "Networking > VPC" tab

  2. Click "Create VPC."

  3. Fill in:

    • VPC Name (required)

    • Region (required)

    • Description (optional)

    • You can also configure your subnet configurations in the advanced settings like:

      • Subnet Name

      • Subnet Description

      • CIDR

      • Gateway IP

      • Network Accessibility

        • Public

        • Private

  4. Click "Create VPC."

  5. New VPC will be listed with:

    • Name, Description, Region, Status and subnet settings

You have the functionality to leave the subnet empty. We will create a default public subnet with the VPC

Deleting a VPC

Please note that you can delete your VPC only after all the attached resources with the VPC are deleted first.

  1. Click on the three-dot menu → Delete VPC

  2. Two-step confirmation:

    • Enter VPC Name manually (no copy-paste)

  3. If the input matches, the delete proceeds

  4. If mismatch: Toast message shown and deletion cancelled

Billing and Pricing

Our VPCs are priced at Rs 0.28 per VPC per hour. But we are giving one VPC free at the customer level. Only the first VPC you create is free; after that, you will be charged for the 2nd VPC onwards, even if you delete the first VPC.
