An administrator is deploying an NC2 cluster with native networking.

When opting for a native networking deployment (Standard AWS Networking), the architectural requirements differ from an overlay-based setup.

This configuration typically requiresone private management subnetto house the bare-metal hosts and Controller VMs (CVMs). To facilitate outbound communication and administrative access,two public subnetsare required—one for the NAT Gateway to provide internet access to the private nodes, and another to host resources like the Prism load balancer. Finally,one or more User VM (UVM) subnetsare created to host the actual workloads. Unlike Flow Virtual Networking, which uses a single transit VPC, native networking relies on these multiple standard AWS subnets to segregate management, public-facing, and workload traffic within the VPC.
