Virtual Private Cloud networking
AI Summary
In this video, viewers are introduced to Google Cloud’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), which combines the scalability of public clouds with the privacy of private clouds. A VPC allows users to run code, store data, and host websites securely within a public cloud. The VPC network facilitates secure communication between Google Cloud resources and the internet, enabling network segmentation, access restrictions with firewalls, and targeted traffic forwarding. Google VPCs are global, allowing subnets in any Google Cloud region, and resources can exist in different zones on the same subnet without impacting existing configurations. This structure supports building resilient and scalable solutions for cloud applications. The video serves as an introduction to VPCs, leading to further exploration of VPC compatibility in subsequent lessons.
