Best practices Blueprint for GCP Compute Network

Customizable templates for deploying cloud infrastructure

GCP Compute Network

This blueprint creates a Google Cloud VPC network following best practices by defaulting to custom mode (auto_create_subnetworks set to false), allowing for manual subnet creation and better control over network configuration. It includes advanced options like routing mode and MTU with sensible defaults, providing flexibility for advanced users. The blueprint is organized to help users, including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts, configure essential settings easily.
