Description: A network zone in the context of cloud computing refers to a specific area within a network that is managed as a single entity. This zone allows system and network administrators to organize and control Internet traffic to their resources, such as servers and applications. In cloud environments, a network zone is commonly associated with a domain or subdomain and contains DNS records that define how domain name requests are resolved. This includes A, CNAME, MX records, among others, that direct traffic to the corresponding IP addresses. Managing these zones is crucial to ensure that users can access services efficiently and reliably. Additionally, network zones allow for the implementation of security policies and performance optimization, facilitating the management of cloud network infrastructure. In summary, a network zone is an essential component for managing network traffic and service availability in a cloud environment.
