Connect VPCs with Network Peering on the Google Cloud Platform

In this lab, we will take three disconnected VPC networks and enable private RFC 1918 communication via network peering on GCP. Network peering allows you to take any Google Cloud VPC and establish a private network connection with another GCP VPC so traffic between them does not touch the public internet.
