Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Definition

  • The Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service enables you to provision logically isolated, configurable, and manageable virtual networks for cloud servers (ECS or BMS), improving the security of resources in the system and simplifying network deployment.

Functions

  • Configuring private networks as required: You can configure CIDR blocks for subnets in your VPC, and then deploy cloud servers and services in the subnets as required
  • By configuring custom route policies, you can flexibly manage network traffic forwarding of resources such as VPCs, public networks, and hybrid clouds

Application Scenarios

  • Secure and Isolated Network Environment: The VPC enables you to deploy a network environment that is isolated from the extranet for cloud servers, such as those that function as database nodes or server nodes when you build a website
  • Extending Your Corporate Network into the Cloud You can use a VPN or Direct Connect connection to connect a VPC to your local data center
