Study Notes
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
- A VPC is a logically isolated, virtual network.
- Allows for customization, including subnets, route tables, security groups, and bandwidth management.
- Provides secure and isolated networks based on assigned IP addresses and security configurations.
- VPC is the basis of HUAWEI CLOUD networks.
Advantages of VPC
- Flexible Configuration: Customize VPCs, divide subnets as needed, configure DHCP and route tables.
-
Security and Reliability: VPCs are logically isolated from each other. They can't communicate by default.
- Network ACLs protect subnets.
- Security groups protect ECSs (Elastic Cloud Servers).
-
Seamless Connectivity:
- VPCs are not connected to the internet by default.
- Connect to the internet through EIP, ELB, NAT Gateway, VPN, and Direct Connect.
- VPC peering connections allow communication between two VPCs in the same region using private IP addresses.
-
High-Speed Access:
- Up to 21 dynamic BGP connections to various carriers.
- Dynamic BGP allows for automatic failover and chooses the optimal path in case of network failures.
VPC Architecture
- Each VPC contains a private CIDR block, route tables, and at least one subnet.
- When creating a VPC, specify a private CIDR block within the supported ranges: 10.0.0.0/8-24, 172.16.0.0/12-24, and 192.168.0.0/16-24.
- Cloud resources (like ECSs and databases) must be deployed in subnets.
- A default route table is automatically generated by the system. This ensures subnets in the same VPC communicate.
- To meet specific application requirements, create custom route tables.
Security in VPC
-
Security Groups:
- Act as virtual firewalls that provide access rules for ECSs within a VPC.
- Apply to instances with the same security requirements and mutual trust.
-
Network ACLs:
- Associated with subnets that have the same access control needs.
- Allow for specific control of inbound and outbound traffic at the subnet level.
Connectivity Options
- VPC Peering Connection: Establishes communication between two VPCs in the same region using private IP addresses.
- EIP or NAT Gateway: Allows ECSs in a VPC to communicate with the internet.
- On-premise Connections: VPN, Cloud Connect, Direct Connect, and L2CG (Layer 2 Connection Gateway) can connect your on-premises data center to VPCs.
Application Scenarios
- Dedicated Networks on Cloud: Each VPC represents a private network, providing isolation for service systems.
- Web Application/Website Hosting: Host web applications and websites in a VPC. Connect ECSs running web applications to the internet using EIPs or NAT gateways. Distribute traffic using load balancers.
-
Web Application Access Control:
- Create multiple security groups for web and database servers.
- Associate different security groups to web and database servers.
- Implement access control rules for security groups.
-
Hybrid Cloud Deployment:
- Combine on-premises data centers with cloud resources for flexibility.
VPC Concepts
- Elastic Network Interface: A virtual network card. Create and configure network interfaces and attach them to your instances.
- IP Address Group: A collection of IP addresses that share the same security group rules. It simplifies management for addresses with similar security requirements.
- Subnet: A unique CIDR block within your VPC. Deploy resources in subnets.
- Elastic IP (EIP): Enables your cloud resources to communicate with the internet using static public IP addresses and scalable bandwidths.
- Route Table: Contains routes used to determine the direction of network traffic from VPC subnets. Associate a route table with each subnet.
- Security Group: A collection of access control rules for ECSs within a VPC. You can create and apply specific rules to the security group.
- VPC Peering Connection: Connects two VPCs in the same region, allowing traffic routing between them using private IP addresses.
- Network ACL: Creates rules to manage traffic in and out of subnets. Offers fine-grained control by allowing both allow and deny rules.
- Virtual IP Address: A shared IP address shared among multiple ECSs. Allows access through either the private or virtual IP address.
- L2CG (Layer 2 Connection Gateway): A virtual tunnel gateway that facilitates communication between cloud and on-premises networks. This enables migration of data center services to the cloud without changing subnets or IP addresses.
