What is Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables the creation of a logically isolated virtual network within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. This virtual network allows for the deployment of AWS resources, providing users with greater control and flexibility over their cloud environment. Through Amazon VPC, businesses and individuals can customize their virtual network settings, including IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and network gateways, tailoring the infrastructure to meet their specific requirements. This service facilitates enhanced security, as the virtual network is isolated from the broader AWS cloud, and provides the ability to establish secure connections between the virtual network and on-premises resources, enabling hybrid cloud architectures
