Software-defined cloud networks

“

- [Instructor] So let's talk about software-defined networks. As we mentioned previously, they are networks that are the wave of the future and they're able to define themselves through software versus hardware and networking upgrades. They provide most flexibility and will meet most requirements. Because they're software-defined, we can configure and reconfigure them using programmable capabilities. All networks in the cloud are software defined. By definition they exist virtually, so they're created via software. And so we're able to configure them and reconfigure them using software based systems and that will vary depending on the public cloud. So the foundations of cloud networking software-defined networks. Types of networking solutions. Software defined, we have programmable, which is probably the most important because software defined networks can be configured and reconfigured as needed. So within the cloud computing world, we have networks that are VPCs, or Virtual Private…
