March 2026 — VPC Network, Elastic IP & Database as a Service

Virtual networking and managed databases both land on the console this month.

VPC Network & Elastic IP

• VPC Network — create and manage VPCs with subnets, CIDRs, gateway and router status.
• Elastic IP — allocate static IPs, attach or detach them from instances, and release them back to the pool.
• Network summary — an at-a-glance view of your networking and NAT configuration.

Database as a Service

Fully managed databases across four engines — Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL and MariaDB.

• Create a database in four steps: engine → configuration → storage → authentication.
• Full lifecycle: start, stop, restart, resize and delete.
• View the endpoint and connection command, with secure password retrieval.
• Redis replication — spin up a read replica that inherits its config from the master.
• Monitoring for CPU, memory, network and disk, auto-refreshing every 15 seconds.
