Amazon Virtual Private Cloud
Define and launch AWS resources in a logically isolated virtual network
Secure and monitor connections, screen traffic, and restrict instance access inside your virtual network.
Spend less time setting up, managing, and validating your virtual network.
Customize your virtual network by choosing your own IP address range, creating subnets, and configuring route tables.
How it works
VPCs can communicate with each other across accounts, Availability Zones, and AWS Regions. This diagram shows one possible configuration where, within Region 1, network traffic is shared between a VPC in availability zone 1 and a VPC in availability zone 2. The same architecture is shown for Region 2. The VPCs in Regions 1 and 2 are not able to connect to one another in this example.
