Introduction to global networks

There are two types of networks specific to the Google Cloud Platform integration: global networks and their subnets. Global networks are private VPC networks that span different regions. So each global network may be available in different cloud locations. When you onboard or synchronize a region, the platform will update all global networks and all the subnets from the synchronized region.

To be able to deploy a VM in the Google Cloud Platform, users must add an IP in a subnet of a global network, and this means that each virtual datacenter must have a subnet. To correctly deploy VMs with automatically selected IP addresses, add the subnet as the default network of the virtual datacenter.
