What is this?

Subnets slice a VPC into AZ-scoped segments for routing and blast-radius control.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse places load balancers, apps, and databases in different subnets.

See it live — copy this example

Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.

# terraform-ish idea
# subnet_public_a  = 10.0.0.0/24  az-a
# subnet_app_a     = 10.0.10.0/24 az-a
# subnet_app_b     = 10.0.11.0/24 az-b

What happened?

  • Subnet size must fit growth.
  • Route tables decide internet access.
  • Pair with security groups/NSGs.

Practice next

  1. Create two AZ app subnets.
  2. Associate route tables.
  3. Place a VM in private subnet.
  4. Calculate IPs needed for 50 pods.
  5. Add data subnet.

Remember

AZ-scoped slices. Routes matter. Size for growth.

CloudVerse multi-AZ subnets

App subnets in two AZs.

Outcome: HA layout ready for load balancers.
