These are also properties of Google Container Engine. Which other container service offerings were you thinking of?

Digital Ocean has something called "Private Networking" that's internal to the data center but shared with all other customers. It's not obvious from reading the website that this is the case.

I actually think they're almost intentionally a touch deceptive. "Private" is a really loaded term to use there.

When a door is marked "Private", then the room beyond is generally a shared space for all those authorized to access.

Not really, common to refer to Private IP's as "private IP address space" as per RFC 1918(IPv4)/RFC 4193(IPv6).

If a user of the service is wanting to get on board, it is their responsibility to ensure what they think is accurate or not.

Linode's is the same. I agree that it's annoying and that the terminology is slightly deceptive.

Any of these "datacenter LANs", though, tend to be fast and free (in terms of bandwidth). We just use a VPN overlay and call it a day.
