Virtual Private Cloud Peering

Create private connections between your VPCs with VPC Peering, enabling secure, low-latency communication across your cloud infrastructure.

Build scalable multi-VPC architectures

Connect multiple VPCs within the same region and simplify complex infrastructure layouts. VPC Peering enables distributed workloads across projects or environments to communicate as part of a unified private network.

Reduce operational complexity

Avoid deploying transit instances or managing complex VPN meshes to connect isolated networks. VPC Peering provides native connectivity between VPCs, simplifying network operations and reducing unnecessary infrastructure.

Keep your traffic private and secure

Route traffic between VPCs entirely through Scaleway’s private network without exposing data to the public internet. This built-in isolation improves security and helps meet strict compliance and sovereignty requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What is VPC Peering?

SouthShortIcon

VPC Peering allows you to connect two Scaleway Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) within the same region so that resources in each network can communicate privately. Traffic flows through Scaleway’s private infrastructure rather than the public internet.

Why use VPC Peering instead of VPNs or custom routing?

SouthShortIcon

Without native peering, connecting isolated VPCs often requires deploying VPN gateways or transit virtual machines. VPC Peering provides a simpler, provider-managed connection that reduces infrastructure overhead and improves performance.

Can I connect VPCs from different projects or organizations?

SouthShortIcon

Yes. VPC Peering can connect VPCs that belong to the same Project, different projects within the same organization, or even across organizations, as long as they are located in the same region.

Does VPC Peering expose my traffic to the public internet?

SouthShortIcon

No. Traffic exchanged between peered VPCs stays entirely within Scaleway’s private network backbone, ensuring secure communication between workloads.

What is transitive peering?

SouthShortIcon

Transitive peering allows traffic to pass through an intermediate VPC to reach other connected networks. This makes it possible to design hub-and-spoke architectures where a central VPC connects multiple environments such as production, staging, or shared services.

How many VPCs can be chained with transitive peering?

SouthShortIcon

Scaleway VPC Peering supports transitive routing across up to four chained VPCs, enabling flexible multi-network architectures.

Can I control which traffic flows between peered VPCs?

SouthShortIcon

Yes. You can define custom routes to control which IP ranges are allowed to traverse the peering connection. This supports both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic and gives you fine-grained control over connectivity.

Does VPC Peering integrate with other Scaleway networking features?

SouthShortIcon

Yes. VPC Peering integrates with the Scaleway VPC ecosystem, including:

  • VPC Routing
  • Private Networks
  • Network ACLs
    These features allow you to control traffic flow and enforce security policies across your infrastructure.

Can I peer VPCs across different regions?

SouthShortIcon

No. VPC Peering currently supports connections within the same region only. For cross-region connectivity or hybrid networking, other solutions such as VPN or dedicated connectivity may be required.

What are typical use cases for VPC Peering?

SouthShortIcon

Common use cases include:

  • Connecting production, staging, and development environments
  • Creating hub-and-spoke architectures for shared services
  • Enabling communication between multi-project infrastructures
  • Simplifying migrations to Scaleway from other cloud providers by recreating multi-VPC architectures
