User Testimonials
	Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)	Azure StorSimple
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS If you are going to deploy within AWS, you need to know how to leverage VPCs. VPCs have several items you must configure for them to be usable and to even link one VPC to another. If you are only going to deploy a few resources or use some of the default configurations, you still need to have working knowledge of how a VPC functions. If you are used to working with VLANs and the ideology behind those, that is the best direct reference to how a VPC can be described, but with additional layers on top of that with route tables, internet gateways, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure.

Return on Investment	Amazon AWS AWS VPCs are actively used for following various compliance and regulatory needs such as network separation for PCI DSS.
