zCompute Networking User Guide

zCompute provides a comprehensive software-defined networking platform that enables creation, management, and securing network connectivity for cloud workloads. zCompute supports two coexisting networking models:

• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), which offers a rich, AWS-compatible IP networking stack including subnets, route tables, security groups, Internet gateways, Elastic IPs, NAT gateways, peering connections, DNS services, and load balancers.

• Distributed Virtual Switch (DVS), which provides VLAN-based Layer 2 networking, familiar to users of traditional virtualization platforms such as VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, and similar.

Both models can operate side by side within the same zCompute cloud. A single account can host VPC-based projects alongside DVS-based projects, giving organizations the flexibility to match their networking approach to each workload’s requirements.

This guide describes the networking concepts, resources, and available day-to-day operations.
