Module 2: Virtual Networking
GCP uses a software defined network or STN. It's built on a global fibre infrastructure that makes GCP one of the world's largest and fastest networks. One way to view GCP is as a collection of network costed services. Thinking about resources as services rather than as hardware, will help you understand the options that are available and their behavior.
