VPC Configuration
VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) Configuration refers to the process of setting up and managing a logically isolated network environment within a public cloud provider, such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. It involves defining network components like subnets, route tables, security groups, and internet gateways to control traffic flow and resource access. This enables secure and scalable deployment of cloud resources while maintaining network segmentation and compliance.
Developers should learn VPC Configuration when building applications in cloud environments to ensure secure and efficient network architecture, especially for multi-tier applications, compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA, PCI-DSS), or hybrid cloud setups. It is essential for scenarios like isolating development and production environments, implementing microservices with private networking, or connecting on-premises infrastructure to the cloud via VPN or Direct Connect.
