Manage organization virtual private clouds (VPCs) in Aiven Limited availability

Set up or delete an organization-wide VPC on the Aiven Platform. Enable new Aiven projects in the organization VPC or migrate existing Aiven projects to the organization VPC. Access resources within the organization VPC from the public internet.

Prerequisites​

Create an organization VPC​

Create an organization VPC using a tool of your choice:

  1. Log in to the Aiven Console, and click Admin in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click VPCs in the sidebar and Create VPC on the Virtual private clouds page.
  3. In the Create VPC window:

    1. Select a cloud provider.

    2. Select a cloud region.

    3. Specify an IP range.

      • Use an IP range that does not overlap with any networks to be connected via VPC peering. For example, if your own networks use the range 11.1.1.0/8, you can set the range for your Aiven organization's VPC to 191.161.1.0/24.
      • Use a network prefix that is 20-24 character long.

    4. Click Create VPC.

Your new organization VPC is ready to use as soon as its status visible on the Virtual private clouds page changes to Active.

Create a service in an organization VPC​

Your organization VPC is available as a geolocation (cloud region) for the new service.

note

You can create a service in an organization VPC only if the organization VPC is in the same organization where you are creating the service.

Create a service in an organization VPC using a tool of your choice:

Set your organization VPC as a cloud region for the new service:

  1. From your project, in the Services page, click Create service.

  2. From the Select service page, click the service type of your choice.

  3. Select the cloud provider and region to host your service on.

    note

    The pricing for the same service can vary between different providers and regions. The service summary shows you the pricing for your selected options.

  4. Select a service plan.

    note

    This determines the number of servers and the memory, CPU, and disk resources allocated to your service. See Plans & Pricing.

  5. Optional: Add disk storage.

  6. Enter a name for your service.

    important

    You cannot change the name after you create the service.

    You can fork the service with a new name instead.

  7. Optional: Add tags.

  8. Click Create service.

The Overview page of the service opens. It shows the connection parameters for your service, its current status, and the configuration options.

The status of the service is Rebuilding during its creation. When the status becomes Running, you can start using the service. This typically takes couple of minutes and can vary between cloud providers and regions.

Migrate a service to an organization VPC​

Your organization VPC is available as a geolocation (cloud region) for your service.

note

You can only migrate a service to an organization VPC if the organization VPC is in the same organization where your service runs.

Migrate a service to an organization VPC using a tool of your choice:

  1. In Aiven Console, open your service and click Service settings.
  2. In the Cloud and network section, click Actions > Change cloud or region.
  3. In the Region section, go to the VPCs tab, select your organization VPC and click Migrate.

Delete an organization VPC​

important

Remove all services from your VCP before you delete it. To remove the services from the VCP, either migrate them out of the VCP or delete them. Deleting the VPC terminates its peering connections, if any.

  1. Log in to the Aiven Console, and click Admin in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click VPCs in the sidebar.
  3. On the Virtual private clouds page, find a VPC to be deleted and click Actions > Delete.
  4. In the Confirmation window, click Delete VPC.
