What is an Isolated Network?
An Isolated Network is a dedicated and scalable virtual networking environment that offers flexibility for complex application deployments. It is ideal for workloads requiring:
- Elastic load balancing
- Auto-scaling of network resources
- Dynamic bandwidth allocation
This network type ensures separation from other virtual networks, providing enhanced control, security, and performance optimization for your cloud infrastructure.
