# Networking

Krutrim Cloud's networking stack is designed to give users fine-grained control over how their resources communicate within and outside the cloud. It provides secure, scalable, and configurable building blocks to design modern cloud-native network architectures.

In this section, you'll learn how to configure and manage the following core networking components:

* **Virtual Private Cloud (VPC):**\
  A logically isolated virtual network where you launch and manage your compute and storage resources. You can define custom IP ranges, routing rules, and access boundaries.
* **Subnets:**\
  Sub-segments within a VPC used to logically separate resources (e.g., public-facing vs internal workloads). Each subnet resides within a specific availability zone and supports granular control over traffic flow.
* **Security Groups:**\
  Virtual firewalls that control inbound and outbound traffic to your instances. These operate at the instance level and support rule-based filtering by protocol, port, and source/destination IP.
* **Static IPs:**\
  Public, routable IP addresses that can be allocated to and reassigned across VMs or services. These are ideal for services requiring consistent external endpoints (e.g., web servers, APIs).

Krutrim Cloud ensures that all these components integrate seamlessly to help you build secure, performant, and resilient applications. Whether you're setting up a simple VM or deploying a complex multi-tier architecture, this section will guide you through the required networking configurations.
