Google Cloud VPC

Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) provides networking functionality to Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instances, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) containers, and the App Engine flexible environment. VPC provides networking for your cloud-based services that is global, scalable, and flexible.

VPC network VPC can automatically set up your virtual topology, configuring prefix ranges for your subnets and network policies, or you can configure your own. You can also expand CIDR ranges without downtime.

VPC flow logs Flow logs capture information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces on Compute Engine. VPC flow logs help with network monitoring, forensics, real-time security analysis, and expense optimization. Google Cloud flow logs are updated every five seconds, providing immediate visibility.

VPC Peering Configure private communication across the same or different organizations without bandwidth bottlenecks or single points of failure.

Shared VPC Configure a VPC network to be shared across several projects in your organization. Connectivity routes and firewalls associated are managed centrally. Your developers have their own projects with separate billing and quotas, while they simply connect to a shared private network where they can communicate.
