Are VPCs the Same as Subnets?


I've been using DigitalOcean's VPC feature which is quite handy. Now, I have to setup my infrastructure using Hetzner... but they do not offer VPCs, although they offer subnets. The setup is very similar in both cases: one has to define some ip range for the subnet which is private (e.g., 10.0.0.0/16).

I don't understand the difference. In both cases, machines belonging to the VPC (or to the subnet) are assigned public ip addresses as well. When using DO VPCs, one must setup firewall rules nevertheless to avoid unwanted traffic.

Are Hetzner's subnets the same as DO's VPCs?

Or perhaps Hetzner uses the term "Cloud Networks" instead of VPC? https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/hcloud-networks-basi...

I'm a bit confused.
