Answer

Virtual Private Cloud(VPC) network is a virtual version of physical network, implemented in Google's internal Network. VPC is a global resource in GCP. Subnetworks(subnets) are regional resources, ie., subnets can be created withinin regions.

VPC are created in 2 modes,

  1. Auto mode VPC - One subnet in each region is created automatically by GCP while creating VPC

  2. Custom mode VPC - No subnets are automatically created. This type of network provides complete control over the subnets creation to the users.
