AWS VPC
AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a service that lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. It provides control over your virtual networking environment, including selection of IP address ranges, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways. VPC enables you to build secure, scalable, and customizable network architectures for your applications in AWS.
Developers should learn AWS VPC when building applications on AWS that require secure, isolated networking, such as multi-tier web applications, hybrid cloud setups, or compliance-sensitive workloads. It's essential for scenarios where you need to control network access, implement security groups and network ACLs, or connect on-premises data centers to AWS via VPN or Direct Connect. Mastering VPC is crucial for architecting robust, production-ready cloud infrastructures.
