Auto Assign Ip vs Private network​

During instance creation, the Network field is selected, and this field is set to Auto Assign IP by default. When Auto Assign IP is selected, the Instance is initially created with a Public IP address and will not connect to any Private network. However, in the case of creating an Instance in a Private network, you can disable Auto Assign IP in the Network field and select a Private network to create the Instance in that network. Instances located in a private network can communicate with each other through local network addresses. However, see the Floating IP section for more information about making it a Public IP.
