Setting up your Google Cloud network infrastructure

Networking is the backbone of any cloud environment, providing connectivity between your resources and the internet. In Google Cloud, virtual private cloud (VPC) networks serve as the foundation for your network infrastructure. A VPC network is a virtual, private network within Google Cloud. It provides a secure and isolated environment for your resources. VPC networks are global resources, meaning they can span multiple regions. However, they are composed of regional subnets, which are smaller network segments within specific regions. This allows you to optimize network performance and latency based on your resource locations. Finally, VPC networks provide connectivity for your Google Cloud resources, such as VMs, Kubernetes clusters, and App Engine applications.

Shared VPC is a powerful feature that allows you to connect multiple projects to a common VPC network. It enables you to manage network resources such as subnets, firewalls...
