The network environment of the cloud platform can be divided into two types: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and basic network.
VPC and Basic Network
VPC
VPC is a logically isolated network space you customize. Even in the same region, different VPCs cannot communicate with each other by default. Similar to the traditional networks you operate in your data center, the cloud platform's VPC hosts your service resources on the cloud platform, including CVM, Cloud Load Balancer, and other cloud service resources. Users can fully control the VPC environment. For more detailed configuration and use cases, please refer to VPC Overview. VPCs can build more complex network architectures and are a suitable choice for users who are familiar with network management system.
Basic Network
The basic network is a public network resource pool for all users on the cloud platform. All cloud resources of users are uniformly managed by the cloud platform, ensuring simplicity and efficiency in management.
