A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private network interface for collections of DigitalOcean resources. VPC networks provide a more secure connection between resources because the network is inaccessible from the public internet and other VPC networks. Traffic within a VPC network doesn't count against bandwidth usage.
A variety of resources can be created in a VPC network, but not all of them can be migrated between networks. The table below lists the types of resources that can be created inside of a VPC network and which existing resources can be migrated between networks.
| Resource Type | Create within VPCs | Migrate between VPCs |
|---|---|---|
| Droplets | Creation supported. | Migration supported using snapshots. |
| Managed databases | Creation supported. | Native migration supported. |
| Kubernetes clusters | Creation supported. | Not supported. |
| Load balancers | Creation supported. | Not supported. |
| Spaces | Not applicable. | Not applicable. |
| Volumes | Not applicable. | Not applicable. |
