What is Amazon VPC?

Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) enables you to launch AWS resources in a logically isolated virtual network that you define. You have complete control over your virtual networking environment including IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. VPC supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and allows you to create public-facing subnets for web servers and private subnets for backend systems. You can establish VPN connections between your data center and VPC, use NAT gateways for internet access from private subnets, and implement security using security groups and network ACLs.
