Explanation
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a networking concept that enables logical segmentation of a physical network into multiple isolated broadcast domains. In cloud environments, VLANs (and their cloud equivalents like VPCs or virtual switches) are used to segregate traffic between different tenants, departments, or security zones, effectively isolating IP spaces without requiring separate physical hardware. A LAN is a physical local network, a WAN connects geographically distributed networks, and PLAN is not a standard networking term - none of these provide the virtual isolation that VLANs do.
