Subnets & CIDR
The methodology partitioning IP spaces into smaller, isolated networks using subnet mask notation.
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) divides IP spaces into subnets using prefix notation (e.g. /24). This allows cloud engineers to isolate compute resources, optimizing routing and security boundaries.
