What are Firewall Rules and Why Are They Important?
The network traffic of the virtual machine in the GCP is controlled by the firewall rules. Firewall rules will allows you to specify the IP address and ports which you want to allow to the virtual machine. Which will restricts the unauthorized access of to the virtual machines.
Benefits Of Subnet
Here are some benefits of subnet listed below:
- Dividing the network into smaller networks will improves the performance which will reduce the latency of the application by reducing the follow of traffic between the networks.
- Improves the security of the applications by dividing the network into sub net which will isolate the one subnet form another which will reduce the security threat of different applications.
- Scalability of the application is very easy instead of redesign the entire network you can just scale the network you want to scale by using the subnet option.
Google Cloud Platform Networking Services
Google Cloud Platform offers a suite of networking services that can help you manage and build complex network architectures, reduce network latency, and simplify network administration. To learn more about the GCP Networking Services, read on!
GCP Networking Services offer IP transit service in peering locations around the world. You can also create your own private connection. GCP Networking Services have a rich set of networking tools that allow you to design networks using APIs or Cloud Console or CLI commands for advanced use cases like configuring firewall rules.
