Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) lets users provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where they can launch AWS resources in a virtual network. Users have control over the virtual networking environment, including selection of one's IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways. Users can use both IPv4 and IPv6 in the VPC for secure and easy access to resources and applications.
