Methods, systems and computer program products for intra-footprint computing cluster bring-up within a virtual private cloud. A network connection is established between an initiating module and a virtual private cloud (VPC). An initiating module allocates resources of the virtual private cloud including a plurality of nodes that correspond to members of a to-be-configured computing cluster. A cluster management module having coded therein an intended computing cluster configuration is configured into at least one of the plurality of nodes. The members of the to-be-configured computing cluster interoperate from within the VPC to accomplish a set of computing cluster bring-up operations that configure the plurality of members into the intended computing cluster configuration. Execution of bring-up instructions of the management module serve to allocate networking IP addresses of the virtual private cloud. The allocated networking IP addresses of the virtual private cloud are assigned to networking interfaces of the plurality of nodes.
