<blockquote>Configuring private networks for Dragonfly Cloud data stores using the Terraform provider can significantly improve security, reduce latency, and optimize costs. Private networks are secure, isolated networks that allow data stores to be connected to applications or other resources without exposing them to the public internet. This setup reduces exposure to attacks, lowers latency, and avoids internet egress fees, which can escalate quickly with high-volume workloads.</blockquote>
