Difference and selection between RAKsmart basic classic network and VPC private network

When RAKsmart selects ECS, we see that there are private networks and basic networks. What's the difference between the two?

Classic network: The public IP address is directly configured inside the ECS instance, which is simple to configure and convenient to use. It is suitable for users who require high ease of operation and need to use ECS quickly. For example, if the traffic of a single server exceeds 500Mbps, it is recommended to use the classic network. However, it does not support advanced network features.

VPC private network: VPC is a private isolated network environment built on the public cloud. In the VPC network, we can customize the IP address range and create a subnet. Private network refers to the two-layer subnet segment under VPC. It is usually a segment C address. ECS/database and other resources need to be added to the private network for management.

Therefore, it is obvious that if we are a server network within an ordinary 500M, we recommend choosing a VPC private network. If the bandwidth exceeds 500M, you can choose the classic network.
