What is Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)?
The Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), also known as AWS VPC, is Amazon's VPC offering that enables the development of virtual private cloud within the publicly accessible Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud offerings.

Amazon VPC builds enormous computing power over Amazon EC2, scalable storage over S3 and dedicated private IP addresses over Amazon Elastic IP. Amazon Elastic IP assigns separate IP addresses for each EC2 instance and isolates Internet-accessible and inaccessible servers so that only remote users can access the desired servers. Amazon VPC can also be connected to an in-house VPN for a dedicated connection to the physical and cloud data centers.
