Changing Networks
Network overview
Tencent Cloud offers VPC (recommended) and classic network environments. A VPC is a logically isolated network space that can be customized in Tencent Cloud. Similar to the traditional network run in an IDC, a VPC is where your Tencent Cloud service resources are managed, such as Cloud Virtual Machine, Cloud Load Balancer, and TencentDB for MySQL.
The difference between classic network and VPC is as follows:
The classic network is a public network resource pool for all Tencent Cloud users. The private IPs of all CVMs are assigned by Tencent Cloud. You cannot customize IP ranges or IP addresses.
A VPC is a logically isolated network space in Tencent Cloud. In a VPC, you can customize IP ranges, IP addresses, and routing policies, making it more suitable for use cases requiring custom configurations.
A subnet is a network space in a VPC, which carries all the cloud resource deployments. A VPC has at least one subnet. A subnet will be created together with the VPC. You can also create more subnets in a VPC that suit your specific requirements to deploy different businesses.
A subnet is AZ-specific. You can create subnets in different AZs in the same VPC, which communicate with each other over the private network by default.
Notes
You can switch from classic network to VPC but not vice versa.
You can switch from one VPC to another or between subnets in the same VPC.
After the network switch, the new IP address will take effect immediately, and all connections to the original IP address will be closed. The original IP address will be retained for up to 15 days.
Note:
To ensure the service availability and keep your businesses uninterrupted during network switch, update the IP address promptly as needed and be cautious about releasing the old IP address.
Prerequisites
You have created a database instance and configured the classic network or VPC as instructed in Creating Instance.
You have created the target VPC as instructed in Creating VPC.
