Global networking is currently only available on NVIDIA GPU Pods.
How to use it
Enable global networking- Go to Pods section and select + Deploy.
- Toggle the Global Networking to select Pods that have global networking enabled.
- Configure your GPUs and select Deploy.
- Each Pod with global networking enabled will be assigned a private IP address.
- The private IP address is referenced via the DNS record for the Pod using the pattern:
$podid.runpod.internal - The DNS record will be displayed on the Pod details card after the Pod is created.
ping podid.runpod.internal
Public access (if needed)
For services that need to be publicly accessible, you still need to expose ports as usual when creating the Pod. Consider using a “gateway” Pod that exposes public endpoints and then communicates with your private Pods.
Security best practices
Keep sensitive services (like databases) on private Pods without exposing any public ports.
Global networking provides a 100mbps link between Pods and allows for secure, private communication within your account’s infrastructure, but it doesn’t increase overall throughput between Pods.
