About service
The service provides networking within the selected VK Cloud platform's projects and region for:
-
Creating networks and subnets. Subnets use private IP addresses that are not routable on the internet.
-
Connecting platform services to networks and subnets.
Both parts of an individual service (for example, database cluster nodes) and services as a whole (for example, a database cluster can interact with a virtual machine) are connected to the network.
For example, DNS service works on top of the networks and subnets created.
-
Configuring the following entities that make use of networks and subnets:
-
Routers to connect multiple subnets to each other.
They can be used to connect both VK Cloud subnets alone and VK Cloud subnets to subnets at a remote site.
-
Load balancers to distribute incoming traffic across multiple instances of platform services.
-
Firewall with rule groups to restrict traffic to specific platform services.
-
VPN to connect a third-party network to a network created within the platform.
