Introduction to VPC

AWS Cloud Practitioner to Architect: 0 to Hero

Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)

VPC lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define.

Core Components:

  • IPv4 CIDR Block: Defines the IP range (e.g., 10.0.0.0/16).
  • Subnets: Segments of the VPC IP range.
  • Internet Gateway (IGW): Connects your VPC to the internet.
  • Route Tables: Determine where network traffic is directed.
