VPC concepts

Yandex Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a service for creating cloud networks that are used for transmitting information within your cloud and connecting cloud resources to the internet.

With VPC, you can:

• Create subnets and connect cloud resources to them.
• Enable information transfer between the cloud resources.
• Connect the cloud resources to the internet.
• Create static routes and manage traffic using security groups.
• Route traffic to the internet via a NAT gateway.

Above you can see a general diagram showing the relationships between networks, subnets, and Yandex Cloud resources. In the management console, you can open a cloud network map that, similar to the diagram above, visualizes the connections between your resources located within a selected folder.
