Networks console

Overview

The Networks console lets you manage networking in the cloud, enabling you to create network topologies that meet the needs of your applications and workloads.

Select Network > Networks to display the Networks console. Use tabs at the top of the console to display your project networks, shared networks (PublicEphemeral), and external networks (PublicStatic).

  • PublicEphemeral can connect directly to virtual machine instances to enable communication with the internet. This method is useful for testing but not recommeded for production.
  • PublicStatic can only connect to a network through a router, and virtual machines cannot be directly attached. Use PublicStatic to connect your private network and its virtual machines to the internet. This method can be used in production.

The Networks console lists all networks in the project.
