Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a virtual private cloud and a private cloud?

The virtual private cloud is an alternative to the private cloud. It is an area within a public cloud that is strictly separated from the areas of other users. As an example, you can imagine the infrastructure of a cloud provider as a restaurant with tables: In a public cloud, users share the resources – so they take a seat at the tables that are currently free. A virtual private cloud is like a reserved table at which only certain guests are allowed to sit.

How does the VPC of the Open Telekom Cloud work?

The Open Telekom Cloud's VPC separates the virtual resources of the various users from one another in several ways:

Reserved IP address range: An IP range reserved exclusively for each user prevents unauthorized access. Connection options such as IP VPN or Elastic IP allow resources to be released in a targeted manner.
Software Defined Networking (SDN): Virtual network resources are completely decoupled from the underlying hardware and offer maximum flexibility and security.
Multi-dimensional access protection: Users can additionally restrict access to their own VPC with security groups and firewalls.

What connection options are there?

Effective use of the VPC requires a fast and stable network connection. The Open Telekom Cloud offers various options:

Direct Connect: Dedicated connection with bandwidths from 1 MBit to 10 Gbit/s for maximum stability.
VPC-Endpoints: Efficient connection between resources within the cloud, without additional gateways or internet costs.
