Why use private networking?

Private networks are ideal for:

  • Database and cache clusters.
  • Internal services that should not be exposed publicly.
  • Hybrid deployments with VPN connections to on-premises networks.

Creating a private network

  1. Go to Networking > Private networks.
  2. Click New network and choose a non-overlapping CIDR range.
  3. Attach instances when creating them or later from the instance detail page.

Routing considerations

When connecting XenonCloud to other networks via VPN, ensure that:

  • Routes for XenonCloud CIDRs are configured on your on-premises router.
  • Return paths exist so traffic is symmetric.
