Description: IP subnetting is the practice of dividing an IP address space into smaller, manageable parts. This allows for better organization and management of addresses within a network, facilitating resource allocation and improving communication efficiency between devices. Each subnet can be configured with its own rules and security policies, allowing for more granular control over network traffic. Additionally, network segmentation helps reduce congestion and improves overall performance by limiting the number of devices competing for bandwidth on the same network. In the context of cloud computing, subnets are essential for managing resources in the cloud, as they allow administrators to define how IP addresses are distributed and utilized within their projects, thus optimizing connectivity and security for applications deployed in cloud environments.
