Overview

The landing section for a VPC. It answers “how much room is left, what’s inside, and how was this thing built” without you opening another tab.
Navigation: Networking → VPC → click a VPC → Details.

​
KPI cards

​
IP Space

How much of the VPC’s range its networks have already reserved, as a bar plus a count:
The bar changes colour as it fills.
This is the card to check before adding a tier, and the one to note when you inherit a VPC. A VPC’s CIDR can’t be changed after creation, so running out of address space means rebuilding the VPC and moving every machine in it.If the bar is amber, plan the remaining tiers now rather than discovering the ceiling later. See Choosing a CIDR.

​
Networks

Each network in the VPC with a state indicator. It’s a summary, not the working list — for CIDRs, gateways, IP usage and policy assignment, use Networks.

​
VM Distribution

Machines grouped by state — Running, Stopped, Other.
Other is a bucket, not a state. It collects everything that isn’t cleanly running or stopped: starting, stopping, migrating, error. A non-zero Other is worth a look in Virtual Machines, where the real state is shown.

​
Configuration

Everything in this card is fixed at creation. Redundant Router in particular is worth checking on anything production: a non-redundant VPC has a single virtual router, so a host failure takes the whole VPC’s routing down until it restarts.You can’t turn it on afterwards. It’s decided by the VPC Offering you pick when creating the VPC.

​
Tags

A Tags card at the bottom, using the same single-value tag model as the rest of the console — see Lists and filters.

​
Common task: decide whether a new tier fits

1

Read the IP Space count, not the bar

The bar rounds. The {reserved} / {total} line is exact, and that’s what you need for the arithmetic.
2

Work out what the new tier needs

A /24 is 256 addresses and is the console’s default suggestion. Don’t size to today’s machine count — sizing a tier tight is how you end up rebuilding it.
3

Check the remainder is contiguous

Reserved space doesn’t have to be contiguous, and the total alone can mislead. Networks lists the actual CIDRs so you can see where the gaps are.
4

Let the console pick the range

The network creation form has an Auto-generate button that derives a non-overlapping /24 from the VPC’s range. It won’t collide with an existing tier, which hand-picking can. See Adding a network.

Networks

The tiers, their CIDRs and their policies.
