Terraforming Alibaba Cloud - VPC and vSwitch

This post will help to build an Alibaba Cloud VPC and vswitches. VPC is an isolated network segment. Vswiches are logically divided VPC into smaller groups. For the people coming from another cloud provider, vswitches are overall subnets.

As a best practice, it is recommended to use all the subnets in different subnets.
