Shared VPC

Google Cloud feature letting a host project share its VPC networks with service projects in the same organization.

Definition

Shared VPC centralizes network administration: network and security admins manage subnets, routes and firewall rules in the host project, while service project teams deploy resources into shared subnets. Access is granted with the Compute Network User role at project or subnet level.

Example

A central network team owns the host project; application teams in ten service projects deploy VMs into shared subnets.

Exam tip

Within one organization with centralized network control, choose Shared VPC; across organizations or for separately administered networks, choose VPC Network Peering.
