Network Virtualization
Network Virtualization refers to the creation of a virtual network, abstracted from any underlying physical infrastructure. It enables multiple virtual networks to coexist on top of a shared physical infrastructure, each isolated and secure from the others. This technology is particularly useful in cloud computing environments like Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), where it allows for flexible and dynamic network configurations that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different applications or users. By virtualizing network functions, Network Virtualization simplifies network management and increases operational efficiency, making it an essential component of advanced cloud services.
