Atlas Cloud has two network shapes: Guest networks (a simple flat L2 with NAT — like a home router) and VPCs (multi-tier routed networks with subnet-level ACLs). Public IPs are allocated separately and bound to VMs via port-forwarding rules. All inbound traffic to a Public IP passes through a stateful firewall.
- VPC — Multi-tier networks, route control between tiers.
- Guest networks — The simple L2 starter network.
- Public IP addresses — Allocate, firewall, port-forward.
- Network ACLs — Stateless subnet-level rules inside VPCs.
- Site-to-site VPN — IPsec tunnels to on-prem.
