Network Peering
Network peering is a powerful feature that allows you to connect multiple Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and create a unified network environment. With UpCloud, you can enjoy the following benefits of VPC peering:
Combine multiple UpCloud VPCs into a larger private network for expanded reach within the same region.
Establish secure, private links between your and any other UpCloud account resources or between compatible external cloud platforms like Aiven.io.
Enhance security by ensuring that traffic between peered VPCs never touches the public internet.
Experience low-latency, high-bandwidth connections, which are ideal for data transfers and collaboration between different clouds.
Available regions
Network peering can be established between SDN Private Networks in different region locations:
| Peering region | Accessible SDN locations |
|---|---|
| Europe | FI-HEL1 FI-HEL2 DE-FRA1 DK-CPH1 ES-MAD1 NL-AMS1 NO-SVG1 PL-WAW1 SE-STO1 UK-LON1 |
| United States | US-CHI1 US-NYC1 US-SJO1 |
| Singapore | SG-SIN1 |
| Australia | AU-SYD1 |
What a peering connects
A peering connects the address ranges of the two networks. Services attached to one of the networks, such as Managed Databases and Managed Object Storage, can't be reached from the other network through the peering.
