Network

Networking on LANIT Cloud is built from these components:

  • Network / Subnet — virtual private network and the IP range for VMs.
  • Router — routes between Networks and out to the Internet (External Gateway).
  • Floating IP — a public IP attached to a VM for inbound access from the Internet.
  • Security Group — stateful firewall at the network layer, per VM / interface.
  • VPN Gateway — site-to-site IPsec to an on-premise network or another cloud.

A typical topology: VMs live in a Subnet, all outbound traffic goes through the Router (S-NAT), inbound from the Internet enters via a Floating IP and is filtered by a Security Group. Use a VPN Gateway when you need internal connectivity to a network outside LANIT.
