Virtual Private Cloud

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network is a global resource that consists of a list of regional virtual subnetworks (subnets) in data centers, all connected by a global wide area network (WAN).

VPC networks are logically isolated from each other in Google Cloud.

VPC provides networking functionality to Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instances, Kubernetes Engine containers, and App Engine Flex.

Each Google Cloud project by default has a default network configuration that provides each region with an auto subnet network.

In the below video, you will learn how to

  • Use gcloud to create two custom VPC networks with subnets, firewall rules, and VM instances.
  • Test the networks' ability to allow traffic from the public internet.
