Pilvevõrgustamine, often translated as cloud networking, refers to the practice of creating, managing, and utilizing network infrastructure and services within a cloud computing environment. This encompasses the interconnection of cloud resources, such as virtual machines, storage, and applications, both within a single cloud provider and across multiple cloud platforms or between on-premises data centers and the cloud.

The core of cloud networking involves virtual networks, which are software-defined representations of traditional physical networks. These virtual networks allow for the creation of isolated and secure environments for cloud resources. Key components include virtual private clouds (VPCs), subnets, route tables, and network access control lists (ACLs). Cloud networking services also provide tools for load balancing, traffic management, DNS resolution, and secure connectivity through VPNs and dedicated connections.

The advantages of cloud networking are numerous. It offers enhanced scalability and flexibility, allowing organizations to adapt their network resources quickly to changing demands. Cost efficiency is another significant benefit, as users pay only for the network services they consume. Security is paramount, with cloud providers offering robust tools for network segmentation, access control, and threat detection. Furthermore, cloud networking simplifies network management and deployment, reducing the burden on IT staff. Common use cases include hosting web applications, data storage, disaster recovery, and enabling hybrid cloud architectures.
