I am starting this thread to teach anyone how to use it. Starting with virtual private cloud. A virtual private cloud network is a private cloud network that is owned by you, an alibaba cloud user:
1.)log onto console
2.)navigate to virtual private cloud
3.)name your vSwitches based on their regions, ensure the ip addresses don't overlap (2 vSwitches having the same IP address)
edit note: VPCs aren't expandable, once you have created one you can reuse it indefinitely forever.
