VPC Reference

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private network interface for collections of DigitalOcean resources. VPC networks are inaccessible from the public internet and other VPC networks, and traffic on them doesn’t count against bandwidth usage. You can link VPC networks to each other using VPC peering connections.


The DigitalOcean API lets you manage DigitalOcean resources programmatically using conventional HTTP requests. All the functionality available in the DigitalOcean Control Panel is also available through the API.

doctl is a command-line interface for the DigitalOcean API and supports many of the same actions.

Use the DigitalOcean API to create, configure, list, and delete VPCs.
The commands under doctl vpcs are for managing your VPC networks. With the VPC commands, you can list, create, or delete VPCs, and manage their configuration details.
