The course is part of these learning paths
Before you can start creating a bunch of Virtual Machines, you need a way to organize and connect to them. This course will show you how to build your own private and public networks in GCP.
Learning Objectives
- What a Google Virtual Private Cloud is
- How to create VPC networks
- How to connect or isolate VPCs
- How to share a VPC with other projects
Intended Audience
- Cloud Architects
- Network Engineers
- Anyone preparing for a Google Cloud certification
Prerequisites
- Understand basic networking concepts
- Access to a GCP account
So now you should understand how to design your own VPC networks on Google Cloud Platform. Let’s quickly review everything that was covered.
First, you learned that “Virtual Private Cloud” is GCP’s managed networking service. It allows you to organize your resources into separate VPCs. Each VPC network has its own set of subnets, routes, and firewall rules. Google VPC gives you the flexibility you need to connect or isolate your services as required.
Next, I demonstrated how to create your own custom VPC networks and subnets. Remember by default, internal traffic can route between two subnets inside the same VPC. But you can modify your routes to override that behavior. And by default, internal traffic cannot route between two VPCs. However, you can override that by using VPC Peering.
An important thing to remember is that VPCs are global, but your subnets are not. Your VPCs can span multiple regions. Your subnets are locked to a single region. Also, remember that you can use Shared VPC to create a common set of resources for everyone in the same company.
Well, that’s all I have for you today! Remember to give this course a rating, and if you have any questions or comments, please let us know. Thanks for watching, and make sure to check out our many other courses on Cloud Academy!
