VPC is Virtual Private Cloud in simpler words your own private data center but in cloud. VPC lets you take control over networking of your resources by Route tables, subnets, internet gateway & Security groups.
Let's dig more on these basic term I have mentioned here:
Subnets
Subnets let us divide a network into little chunks & those chunks(subnets) can be allocated to different team over an organization to make networking more efficient & secure.
Route Tables
Route tables look after Who can talk to what? Route table allow routes/IP by which VPC will be connected. We can set up rules(routes) to allow directing of traffic.
Internet Gateway
Internet Gateway allows the communication between VPC & internet. Without IGW resources within a VPC won't be able to talk to internet.
Security Groups
We can say Security Groups are firewall around instances. They regulate access to ports & control inbound/ outbound traffic from other instances.
By default all outbound traffic is allowed & all inbound is block by default.
AWS provides a number of efficient, secure connectivity options to help you get the most out of AWS when integrating your remote networks with Amazon VPC. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to launch AWS resources into a virtual network that you’ve defined. This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you’d operate in your own data center, with the benefits of using the scalable infrastructure of AWS.
