Network Zones Settings

Network zones can be used to create different tiers of service – for example, by setting up different zones for different network resources in the cloud. Zones can also be used to create private clouds for specific users.

Network zones have types which are inherited by the networks in the zone. Later networks can be attached to a compute resource/compute zone of the same type. Networks can be moved from one network zone to another, but the zones should be of the same type. For more information refer to Zone Types. The table below demonstrates the available network zone types for different networks:
