- [Instructor] Interconnecting virtual networks within a public cloud provider is the process of creating secure communications between different virtual networks. This allows for data to be shared between networks within a single cloud provider such as AWS and Microsoft. A common method to leverage is virtual network peering, this allows for the connecting of different virtual networks existing within the same Region or different Regions. Regions are named locations used by public cloud computing providers. They use private IP addresses to facilitate these communications, and this is achieved without the need for a gateway. Another approach, again, is to use a VPN. What's different here is that we're setting up the VPN to work within a single public cloud.
