📄️ Private Network(NAT)
An CubeCOS private network enables secure, internal communication between instances. It reduces exposure to the public internet, improves security, and allows network segmentation for different tenants within the local environment.
📄️ Router
A router is a virtual networking device responsible for directing data traffic between different networks. It operates at Layer 3 and enables instances within project networks to communicate with external networks through routing and Network Address Translation (NAT).
📄️ Security Groups
A security group acts as a virtual firewall for servers and other resources on a network. It is a container for security group rules which specify the network access rules.
📄️ Floating IPs
In CubeCOS, instances (VMs) can be assigned both a private fixed IP and an optional public (floating) IP to enable connectivity with external networks. This section explains how to configure and manage floating IPs through Neutron, the networking service used by CubeCOS.
📄️ Fixed IP

📄️ Allowed Address Pairs
In CubeCOS, Allowed Address Pairs is a network security feature provided by Neutron that allows a virtual machine’s (VM’s) network interface (port) to be configured with additional IP addresses. This enables users to configure multiple IP aliases within the guest operating system, while ensuring that Neutron allows traffic to and from those additional addresses.
