Description

A VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) defines an isolated network environment within an Aruba Cloud project. It is the network container for Subnets and SecurityGroups, and CloudServers are attached to a VPC for network connectivity. A VPC must be created before any network-dependent resources (Subnet, SecurityGroup, CloudServer) can be provisioned.

Spec Fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Validation	Description
tenant	string	No	—	—	Aruba Cloud tenant identifier. Must match the owning Project's tenant.
region	string	Yes	ITBG-Bergamo	—	Aruba Cloud region where the VPC is created
tags	[]string	No	—	—	Labels propagated to the Aruba Cloud resource
projectReference	ResourceReference	Yes	—	—	Reference to the owning Project

Status Fields

Field	Type	Description
phase	string	Current lifecycle phase
resourceID	string	Aruba Cloud VPC ID, set after creation
message	string	Human-readable status message
observedGeneration	int64	Last .metadata.generation processed
phaseStartTime	timestamp	When the current phase began
conditions	[]Condition	Standard Kubernetes conditions
projectID	string	Resolved Aruba Cloud project ID from the referenced Project

References

Owned by: Project

Parent of:

• Subnet — via spec.vpcReference
• SecurityGroup — via spec.vpcReference

Referenced by:

• CloudServer — via spec.vpcReference (use-reference, not ownership)

Lifecycle

• Creation ordering: The referenced Project must be Active before the VPC can be created.
• Deletion behaviour: The operator blocks VPC deletion while any Subnet or SecurityGroup belonging to it still exists. Delete those children first, or delete the VPC and let the operator cascade-delete them.
• Update behaviour: tags can be updated. region and projectReference are effectively immutable (changing the region would require recreating the VPC in the cloud).
• Tenant validation: The operator validates that spec.tenant matches the parent Project's spec.tenant. A mismatch causes Failed+IntentionValidationFailed.
