Cloud Networking Services

Connect, route and protect your workloads with cloud networking services for private networks, load balancing, public IPs and hybrid connectivity, available in every Exoscale zone.

Cloud networking solutions for every workload


Networking is the connective layer of your cloud infrastructure. Exoscale brings private networks, traffic filtering, load balancing, public addressing and hybrid connectivity together across every Exoscale zone.

Build isolated, routed networks with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), control public and private traffic with Security Groups, and distribute incoming TCP and UDP connections with Network Load Balancer (NLB). Elastic IP and IPv6 give workloads stable public entry points when they need them.

Connect on-premises or hosted infrastructure through Private Connect, manage domains with DNS, and deliver static content through CDN. VPC, Security Groups, Network Load Balancer, Elastic IP and DNS are managed through the same API and CLI as your other Exoscale services.

Why choose Exoscale cloud networking services?

Frequently asked questions about cloud networking services

Which networking products are free?

VPC, Security Groups, inbound traffic and traffic between your instances and between zones are free. Elastic IPs, Network Load Balancers, outbound internet traffic and Private Connect are charged. See network pricing.

What replaces Private Networks for new deployments?

VPC replaces Private Networks for new deployments. If you use Private Networks today, they keep working until their end of life, 180 days after the notice emailed to the owners of the organizations that use them. The migration guide in the VPC documentation explains how to move to VPC without downtime. Private Networks linked to Private Connect are not affected.

Are Cloud Networking Services available in every Exoscale zone?

Yes. VPC, Elastic IP, Network Load Balancer, Security Groups, public IPv6 and Private Connect are available in every Exoscale zone.

How do VPC and Security Groups work together?

A VPC gives your instances private addresses and routing. Security Groups decide which traffic is allowed, on both public and VPC interfaces.

Do Exoscale networks support IPv6?

Instances and Network Load Balancers support IPv6 today. IPv6 inside a VPC is coming next.

What are Cloud Networking Services?

Cloud networking services connect, route and protect cloud workloads and link them to users or external infrastructure. Exoscale provides VPC for private routed networks, Security Groups for traffic filtering, Network Load Balancer for distributing connections, Elastic IP and IPv6 for public addressing, Private Connect for private external connectivity, and DNS and CDN for delivering applications and content.
