Create and manage VPC

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a customizable private network service. With VPC, you can quickly and conveniently build networks tailored to your environment by combining various network components. Here's how to create and manage VPCs.

Permissions
  • Based on the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with IAM, only Project Admin can create and manage VPCs, while other project members are limited to viewing VPCs.
  • You can check your IAM roles by navigating to KakaoCloud Console > Profile (top-right) > IAM roles.
