# VPC

A **Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)** is a logically isolated network in a cloud environment where users can launch resources in a defined and controlled manner. It acts as the core network boundary for your resources, including compute, storage, and networking components, offering security and traffic control. The best analogy for a VPC is to consider if you are building a neighbourhood, where you will put all your resources (VM, Storage in this case), which is isolated from other neighbourhoods created by you or other resources, the neighbourhood here is the VPC

#### Key Properties <a href="#key-properties" id="key-properties"></a>

* VPCs are region-specific and cannot span multiple regions.
* Resources that require VPC attachment:
  * GPU VMs
  * CPU VMs
  * Block Storage
  * Subnets
  * Security Groups
  * Static IP Addresses
* Resources **excluded** from VPCs:
  * AI Pods
  * Object Storage (region-dependent, not VPC dependent)
  * AI Studio services
  * AI Solution services
  * Ola Maps services

{% hint style="success" %}
You have the functionality to leave the subnet empty. We will create a default public subnet with the VPC
