What is this?

Virtual networks (VPC/VNet) isolate cloud resources with private IP space and routing.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse every environment starts with a network plan before VMs exist.

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.

# CloudVerse VPC sketch
# 10.0.0.0/16 VPC
#   public subnet  10.0.0.0/24   (LB, NAT)
#   private subnet 10.0.1.0/24  (apps)
#   data subnet    10.0.2.0/24  (DB)

What happened?

Plan CIDRs so they never overlap with on-prem or other VPCs.
Separate public and private tiers.

Practice next

Create a VPC/VNet in the lab.
Add public + private subnet.
Note default route.
Add a second AZ subnet.
Document CIDR registry.

Remember

CIDR plan. Public vs private. No overlapping ranges.

CloudVerse VPC baseline

Prod VPC with three tiers.

Outcome: Apps are not on public IPs.
