A virtual private cloud (VPC) owner can share non-default vSwitches in the VPC with one or more Alibaba Cloud accounts (principals). The principals can create cloud resources in the shared vSwitches. This topic describes how to create cloud resources in shared vSwitches and view shared vSwitches as a principal.
