Native Networking
for Modern Infrastructure.

From VLANs to VXLANs, Cycle gives you full control over L2 and L3 networking—natively, without extra tooling or complex setups.

Plugin-Free Networking

Cycle supports fully encrypted, production-grade networking by default. No plugins, no custom scripts, and no outside tools required.

Per-Environment Networks

Every environment in Cycle gets its own fully encrypted Layer 3 network, created automatically. The platform handles all routing and endpoint discovery, even across different infrastructure providers. Workloads inside the environment can communicate securely, with no manual setup required.

Software Defined Networks (SDN)

Take full control of your network architecture. Cycle makes it easy to create and manage Layer 2 (VLAN) and Layer 3 (VXLAN) networks across environments, all from a single platform. Seamlessly connect containers, virtual machines, and hosts on the same physical network using custom L2 domains.

We've been running Cycle in production to power a fully automated, solar-backed data center. It's lean, flexible, and eliminates the need for bloated licensing stacks. This is what modern infrastructure should look like.

Automatic Neighbor Detection

As new nodes come online, Cycle automatically detects and connects them to the cluster, forming secure networks between reachable peers. If an out-of-band (OOB) network is available, Cycle will detect and prefer it for more reliable, and secure, communication.

Native Dual Stack IPv4 / IPv6

Run workloads with full IPv4 and IPv6 support, natively built into the platform. No need to choose between protocols or maintain extra layers.

IP Allocation Management

Cycle handles IP assignment across L2 and L3 networks automatically. Each container, VM, and host receives clean, routable addressing with no extra configuration.

Automatic Load Balancing

Cycle automatically generates TCP, UDP, and HTTP(S) load balancing routes based on how your containers are defined. As workloads change, the platform keeps routing up to date across your infrastructure—no external tooling or per-environment configuration needed.

Integrated WAF

Protect services with built-in web application firewall capabilities. Configure rules at the platform level to block unwanted traffic before it reaches your workloads.

L2 Domains

Bridge containers and VMs directly onto VLAN-backed Layer 2 networks. Easily expose workloads to the same subnet as your physical hosts when needed.
