# Virtual Private Cloud

## What is a virtual private cloud?

A virtual private cloud (VPC) is a virtual network that closely resembles a traditional network that you'd operate in your own data center. Resources in the same VPC can communicate with each other over their private IP addresses. After you create a VPC, you can add subnets.

## **Supported Zones**

You can create a VPC in the availability region. An availability region consists of several bare metal zones, for example, Atl-A and Atl-B.

The table below shows the cities and zones that support VPC, but the accurate data is subject to the opening page on zenConsole.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.console.zenlayer.com/welcome/bare-metal/overview/private-network/virtual-private-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
