Study Notes
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
- A logically isolated virtual network that enables users to create subnets, configure route tables, assign elastic IP addresses (EIPs) and bandwidths, and manage access control using security groups.
- Based on tunneling technology, VPC provides secure and isolated networks.
- Users can customize VPCs, including dividing subnets, configuring route tables, specifying IP addresses, and configuring network access control lists (ACLs) and security groups.
- VPC's advantages include flexible configuration, security and reliability, seamless connectivity with the internet, and high-speed access.
- Supported CIDR blocks for VPCs are 10.0.0.0/8-24, 172.16.0.0/12-24, and 192.168.0.0/16-24.
- By default, VPCs in the same region cannot communicate with each other, but a VPC peering connection can be created to enable communication using private IP addresses.
VPC Architecture
- Each VPC comprises a private CIDR block, route tables, and at least one subnet.
- A system generates a default route table during VPC creation, allowing all subnets within the VPC to communicate with each other.
- Security groups act as virtual firewalls that define access rules for instances within a VPC, while network ACLs control traffic at the subnet level.
Application Scenarios of VPC
- Dedicated Networks on Cloud: Utilizing VPCs as isolated private networks for deploying different service systems, such as production and test environments. VPC peering connections can be established to allow communication between services.
- Web Application/Website Hosting: Hosting web applications and websites within a VPC, utilizing EIPs or NAT gateways to connect servers to the internet. Load balancers can distribute traffic across servers.
- Web Application Access Control: Creating multiple security groups for different web and database servers within a VPC, enabling fine-grained access control. Publicly accessible subnets can accommodate web servers, while database servers are deployed in non-publicly accessible subnets.
- Hybrid Cloud Deployment: Building a hybrid cloud solution by connecting on-premises data centers to VPCs, allowing organizations to maintain core data on-premises while leveraging cloud services.
VPC Concepts
- Elastic Network Interface (ENI): A virtual network card allowing creation and configuration of network interfaces, which can be attached to instances for flexible and high-availability networking.
- IP Address Group: A collection of IP addresses sharing the same security group rules, simplifying security group management and reducing repetitive rule modifications.
- Subnet: A unique CIDR block within a VPC, hosting all resources. Once created, a subnet's CIDR block cannot be modified.
- Elastic IP (EIP): Enables cloud resources to communicate with the internet using static public IP addresses and scalable bandwidth. EIPs can be bound to instances, load balancers, and NAT gateways.
- Route Table: Contains routes defining the destination of network traffic from subnets within a VPC. Each subnet is associated with a route table, ensuring traffic routing.
- Security Group: A collection of access control rules for instances with similar security requirements within a VPC.
- Private Domain Names: Allow communication among instances within VPCs without internet connectivity, also enabling access to cloud services like OBS and SMN over a private network.
- Reverse Resolution (Reverse DNS Lookup): Used to validate email servers, checking if the server's IP address and domain name align.
- Intelligent Resolution: DNS features allowing configuration of resolution lines to specify the DNS server that returns different resolution results based on visitor IP addresses, improving resolution efficiency and access speed.
Domain Name Format and DNS Hierarchy
- Domain names are segmented using periods (.) into multiple labels, which can contain letters, digits, hyphens, and supported language-specific characters. Labels cannot start or end with a hyphen and are limited to 63 characters. The total length of a domain name, including the period at the end, cannot exceed 254 characters.
- Domain names are organized hierarchically:
- Root domain: "." (a dot)
- Top-level domain: .com, .net, .org, .cn, etc.
- Second-level domain: example.com, example.net, example.org, etc.
- Third-level domain: abc.example.com, abc.example.net, abc.example.org, etc.
Other Network Services
- VPC Endpoint (VPCEP): Provides secure access to HUAWEI CLOUD services and private services without using EIPs, offering flexible networking.
- Direct Connect: Establishes a dedicated network connection between on-premises data centers and the cloud, offering high speed, low latency, stability, and security.
- Cloud Connect: Creates a globally connected cloud network with enterprise-grade scalability and communication capabilities by connecting VPCs.
