High-Level Summary
Workloads running in a Galactic VPC can reach the public internet. Apps can call outside APIs, download updates, and connect to services hosted elsewhere, with nothing for the user to set up.
Core Experience
- Internet access works by default for every workload in a VPC
- Workloads can reach any site or service, including older ones that only support IPv4
- Users can turn internet access off for workloads that should stay private
Motivation
Almost every application needs to talk to something on the internet. Today, workloads in a Galactic VPC can only talk to each other, which rules out most real-world apps running on Datum Compute (#682).
Non-Goals
- Letting people on the internet connect in to a workload. That's covered by ingress.
- Dedicated or customer-owned public IP addresses
