Networking: The Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Page 1 of 1
VPC: Your Private Network
A VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is your logically isolated section of the AWS cloud.
- Subnets: You divide your VPC into subnets.
- Public Subnet: Has a route to the Internet Gateway. Used for Web Servers.
- Private Subnet: No direct route to the internet. Used for Databases.
- Security Groups: Acts as a virtual firewall at the instance level. You define rules like "Allow traffic on Port 80 from anywhere" or "Allow traffic on Port 22 only from my home IP." Security Groups are stateful (return traffic is automatically allowed).
