How much is the charge for intercommunication between cloud network instances in the same region?

In Tencent Cloud, the charge for intercommunication between cloud network instances (such as Virtual Machines) within the same region depends on the network type and configuration.

  1. Basic Network (Legacy): Instances in the same region communicate via the internal network at no additional cost.
  2. VPC (Virtual Private Cloud):
    • Intra-VPC Communication: Free if instances are in the same VPC and subnet.
    • Inter-VPC Communication (Same Region): Requires a Peering Connection or VPC Network Peering, which is free for basic usage. However, if using NAT Gateway or VPN, there may be associated fees.

Example:

  • Two Linux servers in the same VPC and subnet in Guangzhou region communicate via private IP—no charge.
  • If they are in different VPCs but the same region, setting up a Peering Connection enables free traffic between them.

For specific pricing, refer to Tencent Cloud’s official documentation or console for real-time rates, as some services (e.g., bandwidth overages) may incur costs.
