VPC Limitations

Reviewed on April 24, 2025

This page sets out some current limitations of Scaleway's VPC.

• Up to 512 resources can be attached to a Private Network.
• A resource can be attached to up to 8 Private Networks.
• The following resource types can be attached to a Private Network:
  • Instances
  • Elastic Metal servers
  • Apple silicon (Mac mini)
  • Load Balancers.
  • Public Gateways
  • Managed Databases for PostgreSQL and MySQL
  • Managed Databases for Redis™ (only during the process of creating the database)
  • Kubernetes Kapsule (only during the process of creating the Kapsule cluster)
  • Serverless Functions and Containers (egress traffic only, with VPC-supporting namespaces. Not compatible with VPC routing.)
• Private Networks are not supported on some legacy Instance offers which have reached EOL, e.g. VC1, START1 and X64-*GB. Note that all Instance offers in the current product catalogue are supported.
• Only Managed PostgreSQL and MySQL Database Instances created after July 28th 2025 are compatible with VPC routing. Maintenance scheduled for later in August 2025 will make all pre-existing Managed PostgreSQL and MySQL Database Instances compatible as well.
