That's kind of the same as the others as well. And then the VPC consists of regional subnetworks. So these subnetworks or subnets are the ones that are regional in scope. Also, the subnets are the ones that have an IP address range or IP address ranges associated to it. The VPC itself doesn't actually have an IP address range. It's really a purely logical virtual container or construct where the subnets live and the subnets are regional and have IP address ranges. The VPC is a global construct. So looking at the diagram here, you would have your global VPCs…
