Virtual Private Cloud

1. Virtual Private Cloud

Let's start by talking about Google Cloud's network, and specifically Virtual Private Cloud, or VPC. With Google Cloud, you can provision your Google Cloud resources, connect them to each other, and isolate them from each other in a Virtual Private Cloud. You can also define fine-grained networking policies within Google Cloud, and between Google Cloud and on-premises or other public clouds. Essentially, VPC is a comprehensive set of Google-managed networking objects, which we will explore in detail throughout this module. Let me give you a high-level overview of these objects. Projects are going to encompass every single service that you use, including networks. Networks come in three different flavors; default, auto mode, and custom mode. Subnetworks allow you to divide or segregate your environment. Regions and zones represent Google's data centers, and they provide continuous data protection and high availability. VPC provides IP addresses for internal and external use, along with granular IP address range selections. As for virtual machines, in this module we will focus on configuring VM instances from a networking perspective. We'll also go over routes and firewall rules.
